In early November, children walking with lanterns can be spotted in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. The German Saturday School Leeds (DSSL) invites families with younger children to find out more about this tradition, make their own lanterns, learn a song and join the DSSL children on a short lantern walk.

We will craft the lanterns from 14:00 to 16:00 pm, followed by short walk 16:00 to 16:20/16:30. 

This is also an opportunity to explore how the DSSL supports German-speaking children in Leeds and Yorkshire from toddler age to taking their GCSE German examination.

This pre-festival event is best suited for bi- and multilingual families who speak (some) German at home, but all are welcome!

In collaboration with the Deutsche Samstagsschule Leeds.

This is a Leeds City of Languages Festival event. Check the full programme at leedscityoflanguages.leeds.ac.uk
