German in the UK

Goethe-Institut Wanderausstellung – Musik + X

Following the success of the Musik + X exhibition part of the British Music Experience at The O2 in Greenwich, the Goethe-Institut is pleased to announce an opportunity for schools to experience the highlights of the exhibition delivered directly to their schools.

The Musik + X Wandereausstellung aims to inspire students to consider learning German or enhance their current studies by combining the language with German modern music and youth culture. It gives pupils from UK schools an insight into the youth culture of their German counterparts and is a fantastic opportunity for teachers to develop cross curricular work between German and Music for KS3 and KS4.

Schools have the chance to borrow a series of 17 laminated A1 posters with an accompanying DVD to display in their school for a period of 3 weeks. Four music genres are featured in the posters and DVD; techno, pop, indie and hip hop all optimising the use of German language. Students will gain insight into live concerts, fan mail, photos, instruments, stage costume and more.

German teachers can plan their lessons using the posters and teaching materials available from the Goethe-Institut website www.goethe.de/mux. The only cost for schools is the return postage of the package in its own courier case.
