Why come to the Fair?

The Fair provides a long-term incentive for German students to excel as they prepare throughout the year for the Fair.

The Fair represents an opportunity for students to use the language in the wider world and to feel a sense of progress. A variety of events provide for different kinds of language use and cultural knowledge ranging from memorized performance to spontaneous conversation.

The Fair also provides a cultural experience in Kleinösterreich, where students only speak German!
