This is a great opportunity, funded by our partners at UK German Connection, for teachers from UK secondary schools and colleges to work with partners in Germany to develop opportunities for young people to gain the skills and experience they need for the future, global workplace.
We are encouraging a wide range of teachers from different curricular areas, not just languages to apply. Travel, accommodation and event related costs are covered by UK German Connection.
German language skills are not required for the seminar. Some German language elements will be included in the seminar but you don’t need any prior knowledge and/or translations will be provided.
