Discover Europe!

September 2017 to August 2019

A project in cooperation with the Staatliche Berufsschule 3, Traunstein

In accordance with the training areas of the vocational school, the scholarships are aimed at pupils in the field of social education as well as at the so-called “green” occupations such as floristry, horticulture and agriculture. In addition, people from the Berufsfachschule Sozialpflege should be able to carry out a two-week career search in the same occupation in the Netherlands. As there are enough places, applications can be submitted from all over Germany.

Number of scholarships for pupils: 86

Number of scholarships for teachers: 14

Our partner organizations abroad support you in the organization and implementation of the stay abroad without you thereby dismissing from your own responsibility. The internships take place in institutions of the respective occupational areas in other European countries and are guided by experienced and well-trained specialists. The scholarships depend on the destination, the services and the duration of the stay abroad. They cover most of the costs of travel, accommodation on site, placement of an internship, transport on site, etc. The rest of the costs must be borne by the participants themselves. Here are the individual amounts for stays abroad from 4 to 26 weeks. For longer stays and technical seminars please contact us.

The following services are covered by the scholarship and the contribution:

  • Preparatory seminar (one-day) in Berlin (travel and subsistence expenses will be borne by the participants)
  • Online language course for more than 4 weeks abroad
  • Flat rate for travel expenses
  • Local public transport costs (if necessary)
  • Accommodation in shared apartment or host family
  • Help finding a suitable internship
  • Care and tutoring throughout the stay
  • 24/7 emergency phone number

What do you have to do to apply?

  1. Create a Europass CV in English or in the language of the country of destination. The form for the Europass CV can be found under “Downloads”
  2. Write a letter in English or the language of the country of destination stating why you want to participate in the program

The application is sent by mail to the contact persons listed below.

The criteria for the selection for a scholarship are the own motivation and above all the relevance of the stay abroad for your education. Language skills in the language of the destination country are desirable, but in Poland, Portugal and the Netherlands, the internship may partly be conducted in German or English.

How is this continuing?

If you are selected for a scholarship, we invite you to

  • attend a seminar to prepare for the stay abroad (mostly in Berlin) and
  • to conclude an Erasmus + Subsidy Contract
