Online Conference
DIGITAL PASCH ALUMNI CONFERENCE SAN 2021
In 2008, the Federal Foreign Office launched the initiative "Schools: Partners for the Future" (PASCH) with the aim of establishing a global network of more than 2,000 partner schools with special ties to Germany. Arousing interest and enthusiasm for Germany, motivating young people to learn German, and creating a worldwide network of schools are the main goals of the PASCH initiative. The Goethe-Institut oversees around 670 PASCH schools in the national education systems of over 100 countries.
Today, around 200,000 students* are learning German at the PASCH schools supported by the Goethe-Institut. The graduates take their experiences from German lessons, their experiences in international exchange projects (e.g. youth courses in Germany, language camps in different countries and international competitions) and their worldwide contacts with other German learners with them on their further life and educational path. A bond with Germany remains. The growing circle of PASCH alumni continues to be interested in German and Germany and is involved in the PASCH network and projects for the next generation after school.
