On to the week of German!

The Week of German 2023 was a great success. With a comprehensive range of events for learners, teachers and all those interested in German, we put the German language and culture in the spotlight! On the Weef of German's Facebook page you will find some highlights in words and pictures. In 2024, there will be a German Week again! From 14 to 20 October, events will take place all over Belgium. All the practical information will be available on the wochefuerdeutsch.be website - so here - as soon as it becomes available.

Do you also have interesting propositions? Would you like to participate? Please contact us at info@bgdv.be. (Belgischer Germanisten- und Deutschlehrerverband). We would be delighted to have you with us!
