Auf in die Welt Cologne

The student exchange fair "Auf in die Welt", which takes place in the Cologne-Riehl youth hostel in Cologne, is an important educational event. The information event, organized by the non-profit German Foundation for International Understanding, is dedicated to the topic of stays abroad for students and takes place irregularly. The foundation, which is passionate about international education and exchange, organizes these fairs nationwide, often directly in schools.

At a time when international experiences are becoming increasingly important for young people, the trade fair in Cologne serves as an important information platform for students, parents and teachers. It offers comprehensive information about opportunities for stays abroad during and after school, as well as funding and scholarships.

The main topics of the "Auf in die Welt" trade fair are diverse and include areas such as student exchange, semesters abroad, language trips, volunteer work, internships and work & travel. Particular attention is paid to classic student exchanges (high school), boarding schools, private schools, holiday and summer camps, language courses and the promotion of intercultural skills.

In addition to providing information about various programs such as volunteer services, au pair stays, summer camps and work and travel, the trade fair presents an exhibition of leading exchange organizations from Germany, offers neutral advice services and establishes contact with embassies and consulates. The offer is supplemented by discussions, specialist lectures from experts and reports from former exchange participants. There is also information about available scholarships.

In summary, the student exchange fair "Auf in die Welt" in the Cologne-Riehl youth hostel is an excellent opportunity for those interested to find out more about international education and exchange programs and to explore personal development opportunities.

The Auf in die Welt will take place on Saturday, 06. December 2025 in Cologne.
