Journey to the World (Auf in die Welt) Hamburg

The "Auf in die Welt" student exchange fair is a major educational event held annually in Hamburg. This one-day information event focusing on opportunities for school pupils to spend time abroad is organised at irregular intervals by the non-profit organisation Deutsche Stiftung Völkerverständigung, which actively promotes international education and exchange. The foundation organises numerous student exchange fairs throughout Germany.

With international experience becoming increasingly important for young people, the fair provides an ideal platform for pupils, parents and educators to explore a wide range of opportunities both during secondary education and after completing their school-leaving qualifications, as well as funding options and scholarships. The "Auf in die Welt" fair in Hamburg covers topics such as school exchanges, semesters abroad, language trips, volunteering, internships and work and travel programmes. Key areas include traditional high school exchange programmes, boarding schools, private schools, holiday and summer camps, language courses, and the development of intercultural skills, education and personal growth. Other opportunities, including voluntary service programmes, au pair placements, summer camps and working holidays, are also presented.

The event features an exhibition bringing together leading exchange organisations from across Germany, independent advisory services, embassies and consulates. Alongside the exhibition, visitors can attend discussions, expert presentations and talks by former programme participants sharing their experiences. Scholarship opportunities are also available. Overall, the "Auf in die Welt" fair in Hamburg is an excellent starting point for anyone wishing to learn more about international education and exchange opportunities.

The Journey to the World (Auf in die Welt) will take place on Saturday, 24. April 2027 in Hamburg.
