The GIMAGINE Award is a highly engaging, innovative self-learning platform for young learners (14 – 18 years of age), equipping them with beginner German skills and current global knowledge about a broad range of topics.

By completing modules, participants collect points that lead to the GIMAGINE Award Certificate – an official certificate stating their achievements issued by the Friends of the Goethe-Institut London and the Goethe-Institut London.

Offering both a fun, interactive Teaser German course and an Advanced German course, the Award caters for different levels and encourages learners to pick up German from scratch and/or deepen their language skills where applicable. The global learning modules engage learners through interactive multimedia activities and quizzes, diving into topics spanning from sustainable consumption, urban living and quantum computing to music and architecture, diversity, poetry translation and many more, all linking back to German(y) and the globalised world we live in. Global learning modules will be offered on a pick-and-choose basis, enabling learners to really focus on the themes that interest them most.

The GIMAGINE Award is an ideal extracurricular activity for students or can be used in an afternoon club or in the classroom.

This year, the first classrooms to finish the GIMAGINE Award will be awarded the ‘First Finishers of the GIMAGINE Award’, and will be invited to the Sommerfest der deutschen Sprache of the German Embassy in London on 1st July, where they will participate in an official Award ceremony. Travel costs will be covered by the Goethe-Institut London.
