Audi Ireland will provide the programme with an Audi A3 Sportback to travel to GermanConnects events around the country; the next of which will be at Coláiste na Trócaire, Rathkeale, Limerick tomorrow, Thursday 17 October. The GermanConnects team will then travel to Mary Immaculate College, Limerick on Friday of this week.
German is the second most popular language taught in Irish secondary schools. The campaign aims to promote German as an important language for business and science as well as to help young Irish people improve their employability here in Ireland or abroad.
