2022 German Language Essay Competition is now open







Dear Students, Teachers and Principals

25 years ago, Dr. Otto Glaser, the President of the Irish Austrian Society at the time, had the desire to support young Irish students learn the German language. Having been educated in Ireland
himself as a child, he was looking for a way to give back and foster education of his native language. So he founded the German Language Essay competition, which has been running every year since. 

In 2022 the Irish Austrian Society celebrate the competition's 25 year anniversary and we invite your school to again participate in this competition, which is now open.

Please see links below for the invitation letter for students and teachers.
