Taster-Session for the Learning of German at Primary Level

The Goethe-Institut invites primary school children to join us on an intercultural journey. We offer taster sessions for the learning of German. Punch and Judy are well-known but in this workshop the children will get to know their German counterparts, Kasper and Gretel.
Singing and intercultural learning are part of the show. Additionally the event will show how important it is to learn language and to communicate beyond borderlines. Apply and we will come to your school.
