Description

With the City of Munich's international training programme, you can continue your intercultural education. You have the opportunity to take part in various exchange programmes and further develop educational topics with our international partners.
Through the training seminars, exchange trips and exchange programmes, you will intensify your understanding of different education and training systems. You will familiarise yourself with the social structures and values of the exchange country and work closely with colleagues from other cultures.
