Digital Kinderuni

The German Children’s Online University (Kinderuni) is a free educational platform of the Goethe-Institut for children aged 8 to 12. It helps children to find answers to questions about the phenomena of the world, and enables children to learn and play in the German language.


Don't hesitate to contact us if you would like to work with the Kinderuni in your classroom. You can make a (virtual) appointment with one of our trained teachers, who will give you an introduction to the platform and can also make suggestions for incorporating it into your course.

Didactic materials

The Kinderuni can be used in the classroom in different contexts and areas of application. We have developed didactic materials for German teachers to accompany each Kinderuni lecture.

CLIL

Foreign language + subject matter teaching = CLIL (Content and language integrated learning), one of the leading methods of modern foreign-language instruction. Individual lectures will be integrable into the CLIL instruction method as supplemental material.

Access for teachers

Teacher accounts enable teachers to track their students' progress in the Kinderuni. The teacher account also provides access to learning scenarios for interactive German lessons with instructions and worksheets that are free to download.


Live

The Children’s University participates in many activities and collaborates with various partners - this is how you can get to know the project live.
