Studying German offers opportunities 🎓

Around 200 Year 9 and Year 10 students from schools across Sydney came together for a lively German Day at UNSW .

The event was officially opened by Consul General Felix Schwarz and gave students a chance to explore opportunities to continue German at UNSW and the University of Sydney, learn about DAAD scholarships, and discover courses and exams offered by the Goethe-Institut.

A real highlight of the day were the interactive speaking sessions, where students worked in mixed groups with peers from other schools. After enjoying a tasty lunch of fresh Bretzeln, we wrapped up the day with a guided campus tour.

What if someone was stealing your time? ⌛
Momo, one of Germany’s most beloved stories, arrives in Australian cinemas.

This German classic by Michael Ende has shaped generations of readers – and now it’s coming to Australian cinemas for the first time. A story about time, connection, and what really matters, Momo feels more relevant than ever.

Teaching German does not have to be a solo journey! 🇩🇪

The South Australian German Teachers Association (SAGTA) conference brought together passionate German teachers from across South Australia to learn, connect, and inspire each other.

We love creating these moments of exchange and strengthening the community together.

From Bavaria to Addis Ababa, from classrooms to concert halls:

The Goethe-Institut has been connecting people through language and culture since 1951.
What started as a small idea in Munich is now a global network spanning over 90 countries, with around 4,000 people working behind the scenes.

🌐 Strong partnerships start with personal connections. Our recent trip to Adelaide as part of our work at Goethe-Institut Australia was a great reminder of just that.

Each year, we value the opportunity to spend time with our education and language partners in South Australia — from colleagues at the Department for Education, South Australia to our partners in exam cooperation and the South Australian German Teachers Association (SAGTA). These exchanges not only strengthen our collaboration but also provide space for meaningful dialogue and new ideas.

Two particular highlights were the FUTURE Pathways event, organised by the The German Club - Adelaide, offering students inspiring insights into opportunities connected to German, and the annual SAGTA conference, which brings together passionate German educators from across the region.
We are grateful for these long-standing partnerships and for the openness, commitment, and shared enthusiasm of everyone involved. Meeting in person truly makes a difference.

Already looking forward to the next visit!
