Auf in die Welt Braunschweig

The "Auf in die Welt" fair is a nationally recognized education fair focused on international school and educational experiences. It offers students, parents, and educators a valuable opportunity to gain comprehensive information about study abroad programs. The name of the fair symbolizes the journey of young people into new cultural and personal experiences—an important step that can significantly shape their academic, professional, and personal development.

In Braunschweig, the fair is held annually at the CJD Gymnasium Christophorusschule, located on Georg-Westermann-Allee. The centrally located school is easily accessible by both car and public transportation.

The event is organized by the non-profit German Foundation for International Understanding, which has long been committed to promoting international exchange, educational equity, and intercultural dialogue. As part of a nationwide series of fairs, it aims to make high-quality exchange programs more accessible to young people across Germany.

The fair focuses on key topics such as student exchange, language travel, high school programs abroad, boarding schools, private schools, summer camps, and a wide range of gap-year opportunities after graduation. These include au pair programs, volunteer services, internships, work & travel, college studies, and volunteering. Visitors receive first-hand information from reputable exchange organizations and language travel providers. In addition, the fair offers practical, independent guidance on financing options, scholarship programs, international student aid (Auslands-BAföG), and application and funding strategies.

A distinguishing feature of the fair is its combination of reliable information, personal consultation, and inspiring insights. In addition to the exhibitor booths, attendees can benefit from expert talks, personal stories from former participants, and exclusive early-bird offers and discounts available only on-site. The fair is further supported by high-quality informational materials, including free brochures, digital guides, and e-books for planning and orientation.

The exhibitors primarily represent the international education sector—including exchange organizations, language travel companies, boarding schools, non-profit programs, volunteer services, and official institutions such as embassies and consulates. The fair is especially geared toward middle and high school students, recent graduates, parents, teachers, and career advisors who seek a well-rounded overview of international opportunities.

By taking place at a prestigious educational institution such as the CJD Gymnasium Christophorusschule, the fair highlights the importance of global education. At the same time, it strengthens Braunschweig’s role as a forward-looking educational hub and gateway to the world.

The Auf in die Welt will take place on Saturday, 06. September 2025 in Braunschweig.
