German GCSE Study Morning 2025: The Zone of Interest

Dates: 

Thu 6 Feb 25

Times: 10:00 – 13:00

Join us for our German GCSE study morning.

This session will be led by Sebastian Truskolaski, Lecturer in German Cultural Studies at the University of Manchester. The day will include an introduction from Sebastian, providing contextual information and key words. This will be followed by a screening of The Zone of Interest, helping learners explore a range of topics related to German language and culture in its darkest hour. Sebastian will lead a series of exercises exploring themes and topics covered on the German GCSE syllabus.

A thought-provoking and interactive way to engage students in German language outside of the classroom.
