JuBi Freiburg im Breisgau

The JuBi – Youth Education Fair in Freiburg is Germany’s largest specialist fair dedicated to study-abroad opportunities and international education programmes. It’s aimed specifically at young people interested in intercultural exchange and personal development. The name “JuBi” stands for JugendBildungsmesse (Youth Education Fair) and perfectly captures its mission: education, cultural exchange, and personal growth in an international context. The event is organised by Weltweiser, an independent educational advisory service and publisher that has long been committed to providing reliable guidance on going abroad.

What sets JuBi apart is its exclusive focus on international education and experiential learning: whether you're considering a school exchange, a high school year abroad, an au pair placement, language course, internship, volunteer programme or even a full degree overseas – visitors receive tailored, in-depth advice. Popular options like gap years and Work & Travel schemes are also well represented. A key feature is the comprehensive information on funding options, including Auslands-BAföG (a German student finance scheme for studying abroad) and the WELTBÜRGER scholarship, designed to make international experiences more accessible for young people.

The fair brings together a diverse range of exhibitors: exchange organisations, language travel providers, international universities, volunteer services, au pair agencies, and educational institutions offering work placements abroad. Their shared goal is to open up safe, high-quality pathways for young people to gain experience overseas. JuBi also welcomes parents, teachers and education professionals who are supporting students in planning their educational journeys.

One of the highlights of the fair is the opportunity to speak directly with former participants, who share honest, first-hand accounts of their experiences – personal, inspiring and down to earth. In addition, talks and presentations on specific countries, programmes and application processes offer deeper insight for those seeking more detailed guidance.

The fair takes place in Freiburg im Breisgau – a vibrant university town with a distinctly international atmosphere. The venue is centrally located and easily accessible by public transport, bike or car. Admission is free – and with it begins your journey into a world of opportunity.

The JuBi will take place on Saturday, 14. March 2026 in Freiburg im Breisgau.
