Europe meets School

During your exchange semester (autumn) at the Faculty of Applied Social Sciences you can attend the programme „Europe meets School“ of the DAAD and realize a project at a local school, presenting your home country in a creative way to the pupils. You´ll be supported by a voluntary location team, consisting of students of Cologne. By this project you bring Europe into the classroom and arouse the pupils´ interest in your home country. You yourself benefit from the direct contact to young people in Germany, to other Erasmus-students and to local students and besides that improve your German language skills in a uncomplicated way. As exchange student of Social Work at our Faculty you additionally gain practical experience. In our module „Studium Generale“ you can obtain 2 ECTS for participating successfully in this project.
