Im Rahmen eines Austauschaufenthaltes besuchten im Oktober 2022 eine Delegation aus Mitarbeiter*innen der Seminole Middle High School in Seminole County, Georgia, Lehrkräfte und Mitarbeiter*innen der FOS BOS Schönbrunn und ein Vertreter des Georgia Department of Education das Amerikahaus.

Begrüßen durften wir außerdem Vertreter*innen des Europabüros von Georgia in München (Georgia Department of Economic Development) und des US-Konsulats in München (U.S. Consulate General Munich).

Wir brachten die beiden Schulen im Rahmen von "Green Together: Bavaria meets Georgia" für einen virtuellen Schüleraustausch zusammen. Beide Schulen legen einen großen Schwerpunkt auf die landwirtschaftliche Ausbildung ihrer Schüler*innen. Ein transatlantischer Austausch in diesem Bereich ist eine einzigartige Möglichkeit, eine globale Perspektive in ein Fach zu integrieren, das sich oft nur auf lokale und regionale Praktiken konzentriert.

Wir bedanken uns für den Besuch und freuen uns, die Umsetzung des Schüleraustausches zu begleiten.

"Green Together" wird unterstützt vom Deutsch-Amerikanischen Institut Nürnberg (Deutsch-Amerikanisches Institut Nürnberg Amerika Haus Nürnberg) und ist Teil des Unterrichtsprojekts "Going Green" der US-Botschaft in Berlin (U.S. Embassy Berlin) und der Leuphana Universität (Leuphana Universität Lüneburg).

In October 2022, teachers and staff from Seminole Middle High School in Seminole County, Georgia, FOS BOS Schönbrunn and the Georgia Department of Education as well as representatives from Georgia's European Office and the U.S. Consulate in Munich visited Amerikahaus.

We brought the two schools together for a virtual student exchange as part of "Green Together: Bavaria meets Georgia". Both schools put a special focus on the agricultural education of their students. A transatlantic exchange in this area is a unique opportunity to integrate a global perspective into a subject that often focuses only on local and regional practices.

Thank you for your visit, we look forward to support this unique student exchange.

"Green Together" is supported by the German-American Institute in Nuremberg and is part of "Going Green", a project by the U.S. Embassy in Berlin and Leuphana Universität. Click here for more information about "Green Together": https://www.amerikahaus.de/en/about-us/news/news-green-together
