"The children gained a unique perspective into a different culture and way of life."

Start the new school year by teaching your pupils all about school life in Germany:

Magical Christmas Trips
From biscuit-making to Christmas markets; give your primary pupils a taste of Germany's Christmas culture and set up a link to a German primary school.
"More pupils now want to learn German and the wider community has also gained a greater awareness." Find out what last year's schools got up to on their visit.
Deadline: 26 September 2017
