of gender with other categories of analysis such as sexuality, class,
race and ethnicity. WiG is committed to making school and college
material inclusive, and is dedicated to eradicating discrimination
in the classroom and in the teaching profession at all levels. Website: http://www.womeningerman.org/ |

| Think German | The 2010 Think German campaign promoted German in diverse aspects of UK life. Encompassing conferences, concerts, competitions and a career fair, the 2010 Think German campaign had a great impact in raising the profile of German and was prominently featured in the press in both the UK and Germany. Building on this success, the Think German website continues to serve as a portal for all things German in the UK, providing an instant overview of the services offered by partner institutions and helping you discover why it’s worth thinking German!
