For over 50 years, the British Columbia Council of Teachers of German (BCCTG) has been a cornerstone in German language education across British Columbia. The annual conference in Vancouver, BC is the only event of its kind in the province, bringing together dedicated educators, sharing innovative teaching practices, and keeping the flame of German language and culture alive in our schools.

But this year, they are facing a serious challenge.

Due to changes in international funding priorities, traditional support from organizations like Netzwerk Deutsch is no longer available. Without this vital financial assistance, the BCCTG is at risk of cancelling the Annual Conference in October 2025, something they have never had to do before.

How You Can Help
Because of this unfortunate event, they are turning to our community, past participants, German program supporters, language lovers, and anyone who believes in the value of multilingual education. Your donation will help them:

• Cover basic costs to host the conference (either in-person or online)
• Provide materials and workshop tools for teachers
• Keep registration fees low so all educators can attend

Every dollar makes a difference and goes directly toward ensuring that teachers of German in BC can continue to learn, connect, and inspire their students.

The BCCTG appreciates your support for the future of German Language Education in BC. Please donate to their Go Fund Me page.

Let’s keep German alive in BC, one workshop at a time.
