Stories, imagination, and creativity come together in this special Culture Night event for children. Enjoy a picture-book cinema about the life of Astrid Lindgren, explore some of her most famous characters, and then become an author yourself by creating your own story and mini book to take home.

The whole family, young and old and every age in between, can come take part in the German creative space at Goethe-Institut Irland as part of Culture Night.

There will be language games, for all ages, offering a playful way to learn German through board games, memory quizzes, and digital tools as well as a writing workshop. The artists in the family can get stuck into the creative corner, where they’ll be invited to craft or write using simple German words as prompts – how about making your own very first German comic book? Or young guests can listen to readings from German books (also for kids) and German music at listening stations.

This event is part of the European Culture Trail – a EUNIC Ireland (European Union National Institutes for Culture) in cooperation with the European Commission Representation in Ireland.
