Student Exchange

Every year about 30 exchange students from Taiwan come to visit Germany, to attend one school year at a german school and to live in a german host-Family, who welcomes them warmly.  Alle students already in Taiwan started to learn German. Even though they attend a preparatory course in Hamburg and Berlin. They improve their German language and get in touch with German culture, to be ready for German all-day-life. The Exchange students are chosen by their Motivation, their civil Engagement and  by their performance in school. The German host-families welcome the students on a voluntarily base as a guest of their family. This fosters real cultural Exchange, where both the exchange students and the host-families are encountered with a foreign culture, but also learn very much about themselves. Every year, we look for host-families, who enable this way of exchange. More Information on our host-family-Programme.
