Europe meets school in Bremen

"Europe meets school“ is an awarded program of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) under the patronage of the President of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier that takes place nationwide every year. Its goal is to enhance the cultural exchange between young people in Europe and to strengthen the European sense of community. Therefore it brings together European exchange students and German school classes.
European students get together with a school class to undertake a project focusing on their home country or a European topic. They spend three to five lessons working on the project and the teacher provides support. The programme enables those involved to engage with each other, work collaboratively and share ideas beyond language barriers.
The program starts each year with the beginning of the winter semester. Interested students and schools can apply for the next round using the e-mail adress: bremen@europamachtschule.de
