🍂 A Warm Welcome Back! Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome Dr. Georg Schütte, Secretary General of the Volkswagen Foundation, at our Fulbright-office in Berlin. As the former Executive Director of Fulbright Germany over 20 years ago, Georg reconnected with familiar faces and met the current team. Following a meaningful team exchange, Georg had an insightful discussion with Fulbright Germany’s Executive Director, Hakan Tosuner, where they explored challenges and opportunities surrounding educational equity and the future work of the Commission. It’s always inspiring to witness how our shared commitment to transatlantic exchange and education continues to evolve and make an impact 🫱🏼🫲🏽 #fulbrightgermany #fulbrightoffice

🤝 Our Executive Director, Hakan Tosuner and several others among us at Fulbright Germany had the pleasure to welcome Carolyn Turpin (pictured here at our office with Hakan) to Berlin on October 17 & 18 for her first official visit in her new role at the US Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). While Carolyn was briefed on our operations and programs, her timely visit also provided the opportunity for her to join our annual Seminar for US Administrators in International Education, meet its participants, and thus witness one of our program in progress. We look forward to working with you, Carolyn! 🫰 #fulbrightgermany #fulbrightprogram

Will anyone care if you vote? 🗳 That's the question that our FRANKly magazine author, Sterling De Sutter Summerville, M.Ed. asked in his article for our recently published magazine. Sterling says, "For all who are reading this article and also have the opportunity to vote in an election, my appeal to you is singular. Plainly, please DO NOT GIVE IN to comfort or apathy. The electoral maps you look at may invite you to get complacent…the distance from the current global atrocities may request disassociation, but I promise you, someone cares." It's #ElectionDay today, so we hope that you'll take Sterling's advice, and make your voice heard! Read more here: https://lnkd.in/d9zGrgxV #fulbright #FRANKly #vote

🚀 Grüße aus den USA! 🇺🇸✨ Unsere Stipendiatin Annika Alves verbingt ihr Fulbright-Aufenthat an der Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Von spannenden Einblicken bis hin zum Eintauchen in die amerikanische Kultur – sie teilt ihre Erlebnisse mit atemberaubenden Bildern. 🌍📚 #staytuned für ihren ausführlichen Bericht und inspirierende Eindrücke! 👇🏽👇🏽 “Ich bin Annika Alves (25) und ich bin nach meinem Masterstudium in Englisch und Geographie im Profil Lehramt an der Kiel University über den PAD und Fulbright in die USA gegangen. Genauer gesagt unterstütze ich seit Ende August als Fremdsprachenassistentin die Deutschkurse an der Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Zu meinen Aufgaben gehört das Unterrichten und Unterstützen im Unterricht, das Bewerten von Hausaufgaben, Tests und Klausuren, das Leiten von Konversationsgruppen und die Organisation von Veranstaltungen (z.B. Kaffeestunden, Kultur- und Filmabenden). Neben der vielseitigen Arbeit darf ich auch zwei Kurse pro Semester an der Universität besuchen. Dieses Semester habe ich einen Kurs zu der Präsidentschaftswahl in den USA und einen Kurs zum Fremdsprachenunterricht belegt. Außerdem wurde ich für einen Tanz bei der diesjährigen Dance Guild Show aufgenommen und ich gehe wöchentlich zum Yoga und Spinning. Mir gefällt es unglaublich gut! Ich liebe die Vielfalt von Menschen und Möglichkeiten hier in den USA. Besonders gefallen mir auch die ganzen Sportveranstaltungen. Ich war schon beim Football, Basketball, Rugby, Fußball, Schwimmen und Volleyball. Aufregend sind natürlich auch die ganzen Ereignisse rund um die Präsidentschaftswahl. Da Michigan ein Swing State ist kommen viele Politiker und Politikerinnen hier für eine Rally vorbei. Dadurch habe ich schon Kamala Harris sehen können. Zuletzt natürlich noch ein Highlight: ich war in den kurzen Herbstferien mit ein paar Freundinnen in Chicago. Die Stadt hat uns alle verzaubert und wir wollen schnellstmöglich wieder zurück. Wobei die USA so viel zu bieten hat und ich auch noch ganz neue Orte sehen möchte.” #fulbrightgermany
