Exchange programs
Exchange programs and school partnerships enhance the mobility of young people across borders and the mutual understanding as well as tolerance and open-mindedness. During the exchanges students acquire intercultural experience, which become more and more important for their personal and professional development. Besides, the Federal Foreign Ministry in Berlin supports many different activities in the area of school exchange.
