Zusammen Wachsen

After careful consideration, we have decided to cancel the 2026 German Immersion Conference. We will update the website with more details as they become available.

Goal

The goal of the German Immersion Conference is to provide German immersion schools in the U.S. and Canada with a platform for developing curricula and resources that empower German immersion teachers, enhancing their teaching skills. We aim to strengthen a network of German immersion educators that shares best practices, promotes the learning of the German language, and educates participants about contemporary German culture.

Call for Proposals

Each year, we are pleased to send out a “Call for Proposals” for the second annual German Immersion Conference. We invite German Immersion Teaching professionals from pre-K to secondary education to submit proposals. Each person may submit one (1) proposal as the lead presenter and can be listed as a co-presenter on one (1) additional proposal covering a different topic. Alternatively, individuals who are not lead presenters may be listed as co-presenters on up to two proposals. Submissions with similar titles and content featuring the same group of presenters will not be considered. All proposals become the property of the GAI.
