Attendance and Participation Modes

The spring school is offered in-person only and open to a wide audience including Bachelor, Master, PhD students, language practitioners and general public. During some on site slots, two sessions will be running in parallel. Please take a look through the programme beforehand. The capacity of on site parallel sessions is limited to 20 participants per session. In the registration form, we will ask you to specify the sessions you would like to attend. Be quick to book the sessions that interest you most! 

We encourage prospective spring school participants (particularly language practitioners and trainee teachers) to present their own ways of implementing sustainability in their regular teaching practice by sharing short demos of their teaching materials (poster or hands-on materials) during the Learning Resources Fair on the second day of the spring school. 

Working Language

The sessions will be held either in English or in German. The working language will be specified separately for each session. 

Registration

To get registered for the spring school, please fill in the registration form. Registration will close on the first of February, 2026. In case you need a visa to Germany, be sure to register in advance, since visa application process may take quite a time. 

Attendance is free of charge. There is no registration fee!

Your participation will be confirmed as soon as possible upon receipt of your registration data. Since we can only admit a limited number of participants, those who are not accepted in the first round will be put on the waiting list. In case some of the confirmed applicants might cancel their participation, the candidates from the waiting list will be offered a vacant slot. 

Social Programme

We warmly invite all participants to join us for a guided city tour through Braunschweig and a free conference dinner on Day 2. The tour will take place after the final session and will end at the restaurant Nah am Wasser (Leonhardstraße 2). This informal evening program offers a chance to explore the city and connect with fellow participants.
