Goals of the school partnerships

One aim of the school partnerships is to build a long-term, stable partnership between the young people and the teachers of both schools. This partnership should be supported both by the young people and the teachers of the partner schools, so that intercultural learning can develop in the partner schools. A further aim of the German-Indian school partnerships is to promote education and learning through intercultural encounters. The German-Indian school partnerships are thus linked to the schools' key objectives of supporting pupils in their development into socially responsible individuals, fostering a lively school life, fighting racism and discrimination and promoting peace and justice. It offers a learning field for topics and goals such as peace and human rights education, development and economic policy education, environmental education, global learning, interreligious and intercultural dialogue and perception of social responsibility. It is to be developed and expanded through letter contacts between the students, exchange of information between the colleges and, where opportunities exist, mutual visits.
