Invite a Young Goethe Ambassador

Would you like to motivate your students to keep studying German? Invite our Young Goethe Ambassadors into your classroom. Students who are currently studying German at A-Level / Highers or University in the UK are excited to meet you and your students. You can also book a Young Goethe Presentation at the Goethe-Institut in London or Glasgow.

Young Goethe Ambassadors are student role models who promote the benefits of learning German to young people and encourage younger students to learn German and choose German as an option at GCSE / National Fives, A-Level / Highers and beyond. They are prepared to share their own experiences of learning German and how they overcame any challenges of learning German.
