Dear Colleagues, In August, I participated in an amazing educational program to Germany funded by Germany Close Up. Below is a description for the December program. This is a heavily subsidized tour for North American students and young professionals. I participated through the partnership between Classroom without Borders (a non-profit Holocaust educational organization based in Pittsburgh) and Germany Close Up. The Dec. program is an Open Program (open in this case means that it is not run with a partner organization). Check the link below for more details. It was a once in a life-time experience.
Germany Close Up – American Jews Meet Modern Germany is a youth encounter program for Jewish, North American students and young professionals in their twenties and thirties. It was established in October, 2007, and is currently administered by Aktion Sühnezeichen Friedensdienste e.V. (Action Reconciliation Service for Peace) in cooperation with the New Synagogue Berlin – Centrum Judaicum Foundation. Germany Close Up is funded by a grant from the German Government’s Transatlantic Program, which draws on funds from the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology. As such, the program aims to encourage German-Jewish-North American dialogue as well as to strengthen the involvement of the North American Jewish community in transatlantic relations. To achieve this aim, Germany Close Up brings groups of young, North American Jews to Germany for short educational trips lasting one to two weeks. These trips aim to enable participants to gain their own perspective on Germany through individual experience. The December Program runs from 16 - 22nd.
