Kulturwerke Deutschland Sprachreisen GmbH

Together with the organization Kulturwerke Deutschland, everything was a breeze, from filling out all the necessary documents to preparing for my stay. If you had any questions, they were mostly answered competently on the same day or the next day, and of course also during your stay in the host country. Abroad, you are also supported throughout, where it is possible and necessary, with feedback talks, always an open ear and, of course, direct help when asked.

My wishes regarding the host family were taken into account and the exchange was very well organized despite the last minute.

I chose Kulturwerke directly because of their friendliness and support, even during the first interviews.
Before such a year abroad there are many things you should be informed about, be it cultural differences you should know about beforehand, or of course formal things like documents to fill out.
I felt so super supported in all of this. I had several Zoom meetings where there were a lot of other exchange students who also wanted to do a year abroad in the US.
You are also in a WhatsApp group with Kulturwerke staff and your parents, where you can easily ask questions via text or voice message.
For example, I had some formal problems with applying for my visa, but Kulturwerke gave me great support so that everything was finally sorted out.
But even after the year abroad has started and you are in America, you are still in contact with Kulturwerke Deutschland. You have monthly feedback meetings via Zoom and can also contact them.
Of course, you also have an American organization on site with contacts who visit you regularly to make sure that everything is in order.
This feeling of being supported is very important during a year abroad, because you are in a foreign country without your parents, and I'm glad that Kulturwerke is there for me so that I can enjoy my time here to the fullest.

When I first contacted them, they offered me a Zoomcall appointment and we set a date and I got all the information I needed. They walked me through every step and every time I had questions or problems they always had answers. A WhatsApp group was created right away so it was always easy to get in touch and the answers came very quickly. The people I met through the organization were all super nice and always helpful. You could see that the employees all knew what they were doing and also enjoyed their job. Some of the staff members have already done a year abroad themselves, so they could tell you about their own experiences. They make the preparation for you personally super easy. There are personal interviews, as well as preparation seminars and monthly feedback meetings during your time abroad. They are very attentive and careful in choosing the host family. If you are thinking about doing a year abroad with the organization Kulturwerke Deutschland, then I hope that you will be more confident of the feedback.

At the beginning of last year it was still very unclear whether I would do a year abroad, because I decided very late (actually almost too late) to do one. I had started to contact several organizations, and of course hoped that they would still have a short-term place available, but unfortunately almost all organizations had canceled me because I was a bit too late and all places were already taken or something with the papers to apply for the time would not have been enough. Because I had not yet given up my hope and had me again with an organization: Kulturwerke Germany in connection law, I had a very good phone call with the organization led where they had also told me that they have only a few places free but they would still have one available for me, there were personal conversations and preparation seminars. I always had the opportunity to ask questions in the WhatsApp group that was created, I usually always got very quick feedback. I was also well supported on site through monthly feedback meetings and could always turn to the employees of KD (Kulturwerke Deutschland) with my concerns. Through Kulturwerke Deutschland, one of my biggest dreams came true. They found a great high school and host family for me. I can highly recommend Kulturwerke Deutschland if you decide to do a year abroad. What I found very good was that the organization had helped us with the papers very well and had also supported us well in all the steps of the preparations.

With the organization Kulturwerke Deutschland, I was able to prepare very well for my year abroad in America.
From the very beginning, I had the feeling that I was in good hands and could fully rely on your support. The information you provided me in advance was very helpful and helped me prepare for my stay. There were personal conversations, preparation seminars, and I always had the opportunity to ask questions in the WhatsApp group.

I would also like to make a particularly positive mention of the on-site support provided by your organization. It was reassuring to know that I could turn to your local staff at any time if I had questions or problems. Every month there was a feedback meeting where I could ask my concerns or questions. Your staff was always very helpful and took great care of me. This allowed me to fully enjoy my stay and concentrate on the experiences I had abroad.

I am very satisfied with the organization Kulturwerke Deutschland, as they had prepared me well on my way to the year abroad. There were numerous Zoom conversations with very helpful, experienced and competent staff. I had phone calls in which I was presented with different options of countries and we finally went into the exact planning of my country, city, school and host family. In addition, I always had the opportunity to ask questions in a WhatsApp group, which were also always answered quickly and well.
Also on site, I am offered monthly feedback meetings in which you can talk about your concerns, problems or ask questions again and pick up tips. The employees of KW are all very reliable and also with wishes for my host family I was well supported and my points were well included.
I can only recommend the organization and I would also choose again gladly.

Kulturwerke really helped me a lot with my planning. They educated me about all the countries I could have traveled to. They also helped me decide which package to buy, Classic program,.... I got all the necessary support I could get, such as preparation seminars, video conferences to discuss everything important. In addition, I also always had the opportunity to ask questions or ask for a video conference in a Whatsapp group organized by them. I was also not neglected on site. Every month I had a feedback call with someone from the Kulturwerke group where I could always raise concerns. I could also always ask for another feedback session. Not to forget, there was always the Whatsapp, where I could always write in if there was anything. I would always recommend Kulturwerke Germany again, because the staff was always polite and competent.
and competent, my host family was a super match, I was super cared for and because
I always got a direct answer when I asked questions.

I am very satisfied with Kulturwerke Deutschland. I was well prepared for my stay through preparatory seminars and personal talks. There are regular feedback meetings on site and I always get quick answers in the individual WhatsApp group.

I had a very positive experience with Kulturwerke Deutschland during my year abroad. Answers to my questions always came very quickly. The application process was also very pleasant. I could always rely on KWD. My host family is very good and my time here unforgettable. I would do it again without hesitation.

The exchange was the best decision of my life and I would do it again any time. Even if the start and the first few months may be difficult and you only want to go home, it will be at the latest after half so that you no longer want to go home. Many of my friends who went back to their home country after half a year also want to return to Canada as soon as possible.
The team of Kulturwerke Germany accompanies you very well and gives you the constant feeling of being safe, which is very important before a big step like a year abroad. Even if you have a few hiccups during the year abroad and feel homesick or have other problems, the Kulturwerke Deutschland staff is always there for you and happy to help.

The Kulturwerke Deutschland organization prepared me very well for my year abroad. Even here on site, I can still rely on the Kulturwerke staff. There are monthly feedback meetings and in the WhatsApp group you can always turn to someone and ask questions. You can really share all your worries and experiences, the whole team is always there for you, no matter what. There were several preparation seminars where you were educated about everything. Also when booking the flight you could rely on the support of Kulturwerke and they tried to make it as easy as possible and were always ready to help.

I have now been in the USA for 8 months with Kulturwerke Deutschland and feel very well looked after here. There are monthly Zoom appointments for exchange and questions and I felt very well prepared for my year abroad! I knew exactly what I needed and the staff is very nice and always helped and encouraged me! I would definitely recommend the organization!

The organization Kulturwerke Deutschland was there for me from the beginning and accompanied me through my year abroad. From preparatory seminars to monthly feedback meetings, they always had an open ear for me. I was able to make these 10 months one of my best, thanks to Kulturwerke Deutschland and their staff.

My name is Elisabeth, I am 16 years old and I am doing a year abroad in Ireland with Kulturwerke Deutschland. With KD I could personally prepare very well for my time in Ireland. There were and are personal conversations, preparation seminars and there is a WhatsApp group created with his parents and several employees of KD in which you can ask questions at any time. Here on site I have monthly feedback talks with a permanent supervisor for me where I can report on my time and ask questions. I have always received quick feedback from KD.
The Kulturwerke Community is an online portal where other exchange students have access to ask questions, make friends and find flight buddies. On the portal I found for example 4 other students who took the same flight as me so we were not alone at the airport.
I personally still find the social media channels very good. Both during my preparation for my year abroad and here in Ireland, they were helpful several times. My host family here is super nice and I am already sad when I think about my departure. You can really say that I have found a second home here. I would immediately do a year abroad again just because of all the contacts that you make over time here.

I am very satisfied with the organization Kulturwerke Deutschland and am glad I chose them. I became aware of them by ordering several brochures from different organizations and Kulturwerke then called me on their own initiative and made a telephone appointment. The phone call was very friendly and I felt well advised. Everything was also great during the other calls and I always got a quick response when I had questions. I am also very happy with my host family, which they have chosen for me. Since I have celiac disease, it was even more difficult and my host family is very familiar with it, because my host mother also has a gluten intolerance. Overall, I can only recommend the organization.

Hi, I am Anastasia and I am currently in England for a year. I was helped by the organization Kulturwerke Deutschland.
I first got in touch with the organization via the Internet and quickly received a response. I quickly had the first video call in which I was asked about my motivation and my wishes for my year abroad. Then I was given several schools to choose from. When I decided, Kulturwerke Deutschland helped me with the whole application process.

exchange students and was always kept up to date via Whatsapp.

Also on site, I am supported by a very nice local coordinator and can discuss my concerns in monthly phone calls with the organization.
