WHAT EXACTLY DOES THE GOETHE WORLD CUP FOOTBALL CAMP INCLUDE?

During the practical units in the morning and a workshop offer in the afternoon, the participants learn football-related vocabulary and phrases in German and can apply them in an authentic and relaxed context while interacting with the German coaches and in the team. The Goethe World Cup is a small cross-school competition that includes practical and theoretical tasks and will be part of the football camps at all participating schools. The school that achieves the best results will receive a special prize as a souvenir.
