2017 marks the 5th anniversary of what has become the biggest event in OGN’s calendar. The Oxford German Olympiad is an annual themed competition for learners of German aged between 9 years and 18 years old and living in the UK. The tasks are designed to challenge learners of all levels to get creative with their German language skills and expand their knowledge of the culture, history and literature of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This year the theme was Deutsch(e) jenseits von Deutschland – German(s) beyond Germany. See winning entries on https://oxfordgermannetwork.wordpress.com/2017/05/19/a-record-breaking-oxford-german-olympiad/ The prize-giving will take place in the Blackwell Hall of the Weston Library, the Bodleian Library’s newest venue. There will be a drinks reception with a presentation by Prof. Katrin Kohl, the founder of the Oxford German Network, prizes handed over by the Head Judge of the competition, Prof. Henrike Lähnemann, and presentations of the winning entries.
