Heading into the World (Auf in die Welt) Bremen

The student exchange fair "Off into the World" is an important education fair that takes place in Bremen. Organised by the non-profit Deutsche Stiftung Völkerverständigung, this event shines a spotlight on international education and exchange opportunities. While this particular fair takes place sporadically, the foundation conducts several other student exchange fairs throughout the country, often directly within schools, underscoring the increasing relevance of overseas experiences for the youth.

The Bremen event offers students, parents, and educators a valuable platform to explore opportunities for foreign stays during and post schooling, along with available scholarships and grants. At the "Auf in die Welt" fair, attendees can delve into a plethora of topics: student exchanges, studying abroad, language courses, volunteering, internships, and the ever-popular work & travel programmes. The main themes encompass traditional student exchanges (like high school programmes), boarding and private schools, holiday programmes, summer camps, internships, and building intercultural skills. Additionally, attendees can learn about voluntary services, au pair roles, and summer camp opportunities.

Visitors can engage with exhibits from esteemed exchange organisations, unbiased advisory centres, and various embassies and consulates from across Germany. The fair also hosts panel discussions, expert talks, and firsthand accounts from alumni of these programmes. Furthermore, information on scholarships is readily available. In summary, the "Auf in die Welt" fair at the Forum K in Bremen serves as a comprehensive gateway to international educational and exchange experiences.

The Heading into the World (Auf in die Welt) will take place on Saturday, 28. February 2026 in Bremen.
