Why this workshop?

International student and teacher exchanges are more important than ever:

–        break down prejudices,

–        and create personal encounters that build bridges for the future.

India, which seems foreign at first glance, becomes alive and familiar when you stay there – not least because of the great Indian hospitality.

–        Life with host families and impressions of everyday school life in India

Context & Mission

The German-Indian Society (DIG) sees its mission in enhancing understanding of India

in Germany – especially among younger generations. More and more Indian

Skilled workers become part of our society in Baden-Württemberg.

The city of Karlsruhe already maintains a strong network with India – through the India Board

Karlsruhe, the Karlsruhe-Pune twin town partnership and the Indian Summer Days.

Student and teacher exchanges are intended to be a further building block of these close relationships.
