Events and Competitions

Activating pupils is one of the most important – and sometimes most difficult – challenges any teacher faces. The Goethe-Institut Manila has therefore put together a series of cultural events and competitions designed to help you motivate your pupils and to make learning German more fun.

International Conference Of German Teachers (IDT)

The world's largest conference for German as a second and foreign language, the International German Teachers' Conference (IDT), will take place in Lübeck fromJuly 28 to August 1, 2025. The motto is „Vielfalt wagen – mit Deutsch“. Philippine teachers of German as a foreign language in public institutions (public schools, Philippine PASCH/ Fit schools, Philippine universities teaching German as a foreign language, the Goethe-Institut Philippines as the official cultural centre of Germany) can take advantage of publicly funded scholarships through the Goethe-Institut to participate, network, and further your education with German teachers from all over the world.

Network Climate

In early August 2022, more than 30 young German learners and German teachers from six countries in Southeast Asia came to Thailand to develop ideas that could solve very specific environmental problems in their city or school. This exchange took place within the framework of the regional project "Netzwerk Klima", through which the educational activities of the Goethe-Institut Thailand were linked to sustainability issues.
