Germany's future teachers work in an increasingly globalized environment. Therefore, preparing young people to act responsibly in global contexts should begin at school. Teachers must be able to classify global developments and their effects on society against the background of their own experiences and to teach them in an authentic, subject-related manner.
Study-related stays abroad and intercultural skills help them to do this. With funds from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the DAAD supports student teachers in their stays abroad and universities in the internationalization of teacher training programs in the comprehensive overall program "Lehramt.International".
In the program "Internships Abroad for Student Teachers", student teachers receive scholarships for internships of 1-6 months at school and university institutions abroad.
