JuBi Cologne

The JuBi Fair—short for Jugendbildungsmesse (Youth Education Fair)—is a leading education fair held in the auditorium of the Elisabeth-von-Thüringen-Gymnasium in Cologne. The school itself is a well-regarded secondary institution, centrally located and easily accessible by both car and bicycle. Ample parking is available nearby for those arriving by car.

The fair is organised by Weltweiser, a non-profit educational advisory service and publishing house based in Selm-Cappenberg. Dedicated to supporting young people’s educational development, Weltweiser hosts youth education fairs each year in numerous cities, including Aachen, Darmstadt, Friedrichshafen and Lübeck. At the Cologne event, visitors can explore a wide range of opportunities for spending time abroad.

Experts, agencies and programme providers from across Germany are on hand to offer guidance on options such as student exchanges, high school programmes abroad, language courses, au pair placements, Work & Travel schemes, volunteer programmes, as well as studying and internships overseas. Visitors can engage directly with exhibitors at their stands, where education specialists and former participants are available to share insights and advice.

The fair spans a broad spectrum of educational pathways, including student exchange programmes, language travel, Work & Travel, volunteering, internships, au pair placements and studying abroad. Its primary focus is on international education and personal development. Events of this kind are popular because they help attendees make well-informed decisions about their education and career paths while gaining valuable insights. Studying abroad, in particular, is highly sought-after, as it enables students to experience different cultures, improve their language skills and build an international network.

In summary, the JuBi Fair at the Elisabeth-von-Thüringen-Gymnasium in Cologne provides an excellent platform for young people seeking information on educational opportunities and expert guidance from organisations and professionals in the field.

The JuBi take place irregularly, and therefore presumably in July 2027 in Cologne.
