Heading into the World (Auf in die Welt) Leipzig

The student exchange fair "Auf in die Welt" is a significant educational fair in Leipzig that takes place at the Humboldt School Gymnasium. The gymnasium is located on Möbiusstraße in Leipzig and is easily accessible by both public transportation and car. The one-day informational event about stays abroad for students takes place at irregular intervals and is organized by the nonprofit organization German Foundation for International Understanding, which advocates for international education and exchange. This foundation organizes a variety of student exchange fairs nationwide, primarily directly in schools, such as at the Humboldt School Gymnasium in Leipzig.

Overseas stays are becoming increasingly important for young people and are a fixed component in one's resume. Therefore, the fair offers an excellent opportunity for students, parents, and educators to gain comprehensive information about stays abroad during school time and after graduation, as well as about funding opportunities and scholarships. "Auf in die Welt" covers topics such as student exchanges, semesters abroad, language trips, volunteer work, internships, and work and travel. The main focuses include traditional student exchanges (high school), boarding schools, private schools, holiday and summer camps, internships, language courses, as well as the promotion of intercultural competence, education, and personal development. Additionally, programmes such as volunteer services, au pair, summer camps, work and travel, and much more are presented. The fair includes an exhibition of leading exchange organizations from all over Germany, impartial advisory services, as well as embassies and consulates. Parallel to the exhibition, there are discussions, lectures by recognized experts, and reports of experiences by former programme participants. Furthermore, scholarships are announced. In summary, the "Auf in die Welt" fair at the Humboldt School Gymnasium Leipzig offers an outstanding opportunity to gain comprehensive information about international educational offerings and exchange opportunities.

The Heading into the World (Auf in die Welt) will take place on Saturday, 31. August 2024 in Leipzig.
