PASCH

PASCH stands for the initiative "Schools: Partners for the future". The initiative links more than 1,800 schools worldwide where German is of particular importance.

PASCH is an initiative of the Federal Foreign Office in cooperation with the Central Agency for Schools Abroad (ZfA), the Goethe-Institut (GI), the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Pedagogical Exchange Service (PAD) of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs.

The GESM with its international department is part of the PASCH-Initiative and benefits from the goals and the interconnectedness of PASCH.
