The idea of the exchange is to give young people the opportunity to improve their English skills, learn about the culture and the daily live of people in different countries and meet other young people from all around the world.
During the exchange weeks the students from both countries explore specific topics such as the EU, Finnish and German history, climate change, trough project work, art, eurythmy and trips into the countryside.
By living in host families the students learn about the Finnish culture and daily family live and to become more independent while living with people they have never met before.
The exchange between Tampere and Karlsruhe is founded by Erasmus.
