Great success at the Language Festival 2025: Winner from Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt!

What a grand festival of languages! At the 34. Language festival of the federal competition Foreign Languages ​​, which took place in Schwerin on June 25th, the student groups from two federal states particularly shone. The two winning teams, the Matthias Claudius-Gymnasium from Gehrden and the Liborius-Gymnasium from Dessau-Roßlau, impressed the jury with its creative, English-language contributions.

Nobody less than the patron of the competition, Simone Oldenburg, Minister of Education and Daycare Development in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, presented the prizes in the festive golden hall of the Neustadt palace. As the first source reports, a total of around 1,900 teams with over 10,000 students convinced the audience with a colorful mix of foreign language plays, films and radio plays.
