Using Wortmann's 2003 film Das Wunder von Bern (The Miracle from Bern) as a focus , we will address themes including family, relationships, looking in particular at the interests of young people in popular culture. The film will also be used as a basis for speaking and listening exercises, discussion and role-play, providing lots of fun opportunities to practice your German, to talk about film, and to work with other German speakers. Resources are provided beforehand for the school to refer to and then to build on after this event. Led by Dr Tobias Hochscherf, Northumbria University.

This event comprises a languages talk, an A-Level masterclass in either French, German or Spanish and a taster session. The languages talk aims at motivating pupils towards further study of languages by highlighting the career options and different study paths available.

The A-Level masterclass in the morning session offers two hour of intensive language work with university language teachers. There is the option for two hours of the same language or one hour of each language for dual linguists.

The taster session provides an introduction to Chinese, a visit to the Oriental Museum at Durham and exclusive access to the museum's handling collection, thus providing an insight into Chinese language and culture.
