This in-person workshop welcomes educators from across the United States. Attendees will gain insights into setting up both in-person and virtual student exchanges with a German partner school. They'll also explore resources such as scholarships, grants, and liability insurance, receive guidance on navigating the exchange process from start to finish, and learn effective strategies for engaging stakeholders like students, parents, administration, and host families. Lodging and transportation stipends are available.

Career- Connected-High Schools meet International Student Exchanges
(3:30pm- 8pm EST)
partnership with Joachim Herz Stiftung, The Halle Foundation, GAPP, and the Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta.

This hybrid workshop (in- person and online) is open to stakeholders in education, industry and policy.

Germany excels in providing varied educational paths for young learners, emphasizing practical, work-based learning to prepare them for successful careers early on. While the concept of career-connected education has been gaining traction in US high schools over the past decade, there remains a crucial element missing: the incorporation of global literacy skills into these pathways. In this workshop, we will brainstorm strategies to establish career-oriented pathways for high school students in both countries, starting with GAPP- facilitated student exchanges. Our objective is to explore diverse models, enhance capabilities, and envision trajectories that empower students to drive innovation in key industries across both countries.
