On an Exchange

First Bavaria, then Berlin, and finally Brandenburg – the 22 German and 
Namibian participants in the 2013/2014 scholarship exchange programme “Go Africa … Go Germany” certainly got to see a lot last summer. But then that is the whole point of the programme. Under the auspices of the Federal German President, the initiative brings together a group of particularly dedicated and qualified German and African students and graduates each year. They then go on two ambitious educational trips. In summer 2013, the seventh exchange started with a two-week visit by the Namibian exchange partners to 
Germany; it ends in March 2014 with a return visit to Namibia by the German students 
and graduates. The aim of this intercultural and 
interdisciplinary exchange programme organised 
by the Stiftung Partnerschaft mit Afrika e.V. is to work towards closing the gaps between mutual 
perception and every­day reality in Germany and 
Africa so as to enable long-term partnerships on equal terms.
