Overview
The student exchange to Germany has been a rewarding experience for many students from New Zealand, fostering lasting friendships and motivating them to further develop their German skills. By applying their knowledge in real-life situations, they were able to immerse themselves in the culture they had studied in the classroom. How can more students benefit from such an exchange? In this session, we will share insights and offer practical advice for facilitating participation. Der Schüleraustausch nach Deutschland war bereits für viele Schüler:innen hier in Neuseeland ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Sie kehrten mit vielen neuen Freundschaften im Gepäck zurück und sind hochmotiviert ihr Deutsch weiter zu verbessern. Sie konnten ihre Deutschkenntnisse im “echten Leben” nutzen und in die Kultur, über die sie Klassenzimmer gelernt haben, eintauchen. Doch wie kann noch mehr Schüler:innen dieser Austausch ermöglich werden – auch wenn die eigene Schule so einen großes Projekt nicht aus eigener Kraft stemmen kann? Welche Voraussetzungen müssen erfüllt sein?
