The following opportunity is not part of the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program, but may be of interest to potential Fulbright applicants, grantees, alumni and the education community. Please contact the The Fulbright Commission in Germany directly if you are interested. 

The German-American Fulbright Commission (Berlin) is looking for U.S. teachers of all subjects, including the sciences, arts, and humanities, and from all types and levels of schools to participate in a spring seminar in Germany, May 31 – June 21, 2008 

The seminar will provide the participants with professional development to enrich their own teaching and further their motivation to engage in transatlantic dialogues and exchanges. The visit in Germany offers new perspectives and cultural understanding through a comparison of educational systems.

The seminar features the changing structures in Germany and the resulting responses and opportunities for German schools, teachers and students. The participants will get an overview of the German school and education systems that will allow them to apply this new knowledge in their own work. In addition, the seminar allows for time and opportunities to establish new school linkages or other long-term relationships.
