The camps are an initiative of the Goethe-Institut as part of the “Among Friends” project and our soccer campaign for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They are aimed at elementary, middle, and high school students, regardless of their previous knowledge of soccer or German. Two professional German-speaking coaches from our partner “Auf Ballhöhe” lead the sports sessions, while you, as the teacher, take care of the German lessons with the support of a specially developed curriculum and accompanying teaching materials from the Goethe-Institut.
