German Week, 19.-24.1.2026
From 19 to 24 January 2026, we encourage students, teachers, and language enthusiasts to share what German means to them. Whether you’ve studied in Germany, taken part in an exchange, or simply love learning the language, this is your chance to showcase your experiences.
Get involved by tagging the DAAD and the German Embassy London using #ShoutOutForGerman to highlight your language-learning journey – whether it’s a classroom project, a favourite German phrase, memories from a DAAD-supported programme, or a fun moment inspired by German culture. However you choose to participate, your contributions will help demonstrate the impact of learning German across universities, schools, the workplace and beyond!
