Welcome to Arbeits & Fördergemeinschaft der Deutschen Schulvereine in Namibia
Preservation and maintenance of the German language in Namibia
WELCOME TO THE AGDS NAMIBIA
Greeting by the Chairperson: Sonja Pack
“We stand for the “Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Schulvereine in Namibia” or the AGDS for short. In order to strengthen the German language in schools, we promote German as a mother tongue already in kindergarten.
Since language is an expression and carrier of culture, we finance projects such as the reading competition, the cultural festival and the essay competition; we offer German teachers scholarships and teacher conferences. We support educators and primary school teachers with further training courses that are geared towards promoting children’s language skills.”
Why German?
The mother tongue remains part of personal identity, the language opens up social and cultural integration. A multilingual identity is to be maintained and developed. Multilingualism in its transculturality implies intercultural competence, which is to be promoted and used for active participation in Namibia’s social development.
