Early-Career German Teachers

With the IDT 2025 motto “Vielfalt wagen – mit Deutsch” (Daring Diversity – with German), the conference provides a unique platform for professional development, exchange of ideas, and networking. Participants will have the opportunity to attend workshops, lectures, and cultural events, gaining valuable insights and experiences to enhance their teaching practice.

This scholarship is open to early-career teachers of German who are Australian citizens or permanent residents. Applicants should be committed to continuing their career as teachers of German in the coming years and must demonstrate a willingness to share their newly acquired knowledge with colleagues in Australia through professional development sessions, conference presentations, or similar activities.

Each scholarship is valued at $5000 and helps covering IDT participation fee, the costs of flights, accommodation and per diems.

The scholarship is organised by the Goethe-Institut Australia and funded through Friends of Goethe Australia.
