Calling all Germanophiles in the UK! It’s time to celebrate the German language in the UK! The German Embassy, together with the Goethe-Institut UK and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), invites you to take part in our social media campaign #ShoutOutForGerman - your chance to share your language learning highlights with the world.

Whether you’re a student, a teacher, or just a fan of the German language, from 19 to 24 January 2026, show your enthusiasm for Deutsch on social media. Use the hashtag #ShoutOutForGerman and tag the German Embassy London to showcase your school’s activities, your favourite German words, travel memories, a clip of you dancing to a viral German song – anything goes!

What: #ShoutOutForGerman – A celebration of German language in the UK

When: 19 – 24 January 2026

How: Post your experiences, activities, German language and tuition offerings etc. during the week of 19-24 January 2026 using the hashtag #ShoutOutForGerman and tag the German Embassy London in your post. Use videos, pictures, infographics or anything else you can think of.

Why: We are paying tribute to all the schools, teachers and champions of German in and outside of classrooms who work tirelessly to encourage and make the case for language learning. We know there are countless German-related activities happening across the UK throughout the year - with this week-long campaign, we want to celebrate them and give them the attention they deserve. The campaign is part of the “Making the case for German” initiative. After a hugely successful first run in March 2025 that attracted thousands of participants, posts and impressions, help us to drum up even more attention for all things German in the UK in 2026!
