JuBi Cologne

The JuBi – Youth Education Fair Cologne is Germany’s largest specialist fair for international education and travel programs. Held annually at the Bürgerhaus Stollwerck in Cologne, the event is organized by "weltweiser", an independent educational consultancy and publishing house committed to promoting international learning experiences and providing young people with comprehensive information and guidance.

The fair is aimed at students, university attendees, parents, and educators, offering a unique platform where educational experts and former program participants provide personalized advice on all aspects of going abroad. Key topics include student exchange programs, high school stays, and short-term programs in countries such as the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and various European nations. The fair also offers in-depth information on language travel, language courses, and internationally recognized language certificates such as TOEFL, Cambridge, or DELF.

Additionally, JuBi showcases a wide range of opportunities including work & travel programs, au pair placements, and volunteer work abroad — including structured services like the Voluntary Social Year (FSJ) overseas. Gap year options and international internships, offered either independently or combined with language courses, are also especially popular among visitors.

The section on studying and scholarships abroad provides crucial information about international bachelor’s and master’s programs, funding options such as Auslands-BAföG and scholarships from organizations like the DAAD, as well as support with application deadlines and admission requirements. Boarding schools and private schools offering international qualifications are also featured.

A distinctive aspect of JuBi Cologne is its combination of professional expertise with authentic insights from former participants. Alongside one-on-one consultations, visitors can attend regular presentations that offer personal stories and practical insights into life abroad. Furthermore, attendees have the chance to learn about specific funding opportunities, such as the “weltweiser” scholarship and other financial aid programs.

JuBi Cologne is an essential destination for young people and their families seeking reliable and concrete information on the many options for studying, working, or volunteering abroad. It helps them develop both personally and professionally. Set in the centrally located and historic Bürgerhaus Stollwerck, the fair offers a welcoming, straightforward atmosphere and is free of charge for all interested visitors.

The JuBi will take place on Saturday, 28. June 2025 in Cologne.
