Immerse-U exchange platform webinars

GAVE is offering participating schools a free access to a virtual platform ImmerseU that is specifically designed for cross-cultural exchanges and complies with all U.S. and E.U. privacy protection laws. All GAVE exchange activities are integrated into the platform and we are constantly adding new exchange topics there. If you would like to find out more about the advantages and capabilities of the ImmerseU platform and how you can conduct your GAVE exchange using it, join us for a webinar.

Future dates and registration links will be posted here.

Are you thinking of starting a GAPP exchange but don't know how?

GAPP organizes three free regional workshops for prospective GAPP coordinators per year. These weekend-long workshops are geared towards teachers that want to learn practical details of starting a GAPP exchange at their school.

You will find more information about the workshops as well as the dates and registration details for the next workshop here.

Teachers of subjects other than German as well as administrators wishing to learn German can apply to participate in one of the upcoming online courses offered by the Goethe-Institut.

We all know that German teachers spend quite a bit of time recruiting for their programs. Why not save yourself a bit of time? This free lesson plan is geared towards German teachers wishing to get elementary school students in their community excited about German. It has all the materials you need, including step by step instructions. So why wait? Just connect with an elementary school teacher, make copies, and show elementary school kids how fun German can be!
