Germany Trips
For diversity, understanding, and trust.

Our trip with two school principals and a teacher from the Al-Alson Schools in Riyadh took us from Frankfurt Airport first by train to Göttingen, where we were able to visit two potential partner schools as well as the local Goethe Institute with its STEM profile. We continued our journey—again by train, of course—to Berlin, where we were welcomed by Cornelsen Verlag, the preparatory college of the Technical University of Berlin, and the Goethe Institute. It was an intensive five-day program during which many contacts were made.

Carried out as part of the project “Introduction of German in Schools in Saudi Arabia” by the Goethe-Institut Riyadh in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut Göttingen. Highlights included a language course and several science stations, such as the X-Lab experimental laboratory, experiments at the Aerospace Center, and the Phaeno experimental world in Wolfsburg.

A group from Al-Wadi International School in Jeddah visited its partner school in Berlin for a week of classes, cultural experiences and meaningful exchange.

As the winner of our competition on the topic of “Climate Change and Environmental Protection,” Hana received a scholarship for the Goethe-Institut's youth summer camp in Obertauern, Austria. From July 27 to August 9, 2025, she spent two weeks in the Alps, attended German classes every day, took part in a variety of leisure activities, and discovered the beauty of Salzburg.

This year's school trip with students from Ellesmere College Riyadh took us to Cologne and Bonn and offered a varied mix of culture, history, and encounters. Right at the start, we explored Cologne on a historical city tour, during which the students gained exciting insights into the long and eventful past of the cathedral city. A special highlight was the cable car ride across the Rhine, which offered an impressive view of Cologne and its landmarks.

Deutsch Plus Beruf 2025 combines language learning, career orientation and international exchange. Aly Tarek from Saudi Arabia shares his experiences in Heilbronn, visits to companies and the friendships he made along the way.
