Description
Welcome to the University of Bristol German Society page!
Who are we?
Whether you study German at the university, in your free time, are German yourself, or are simply interested in the German language and culture, our society welcomes anyone interested in the German-speaking world!
The society aims to bring those interested in speaking or learning German or about German culture together for social events. We aim to host weekly social events, usually on a Thursday evening, alongisde an academic social, such as a speaking cafe, fortnightly. Our goal this year is to grow the society and establish a community for anyone interested in the German-speaking world, providing opportunities to meet new people and improve our language abilities.
We're keen to also support German students outside of the university, and we're currently in the process of organising volunteering opportunities at a local secondary school. Our aim is to offer regular speaking practice for pupils and also provide advice and guidance for those considering studying German at univerisity. If you feel this would be something you'd like to be involved with, please get in contact with us via email or by messaging us on Instagram.
We're looking to do trips abroad as well, so do sign up or follow our socials to be updated on what will be happening!

Membership
We're keen to encourage everyone to get membership to our society, as it helps support us and allows us to host bigger and better events for you all! Although many of our socials and events will be open to all, there will be certain member-only events, so we recommend membership to anyone interested in being fully involved with the society.
We have one standard membership which will cover you for the entire year, and costs £5. It can be found if you click 'Join This Group'. Membership will provide access to exclusive events, and also allow you to vote in our AGM (annual group meeting), where you'll be given the opportunity to select, and stand for, the up-coming years' committee.
