Clash! Exchange & Learning gGmbH (Haftungsbeschränkt)

Clash! Exchange & Learning is a German-Dutch organisation specialised in intercultural, international and educational exchanges. The goal of Clash’s! projects is to broaden the horizons of the participants and help them develop a greater consciousness for diversity, inclusivity and political citizenship. Following non-formal pedagogy and experiential learning, our most important teaching method is interaction. Through coming into contact with other people, the participants will learn about other (sub)cultures. This interaction is achieved by stimulating and creating an active and open dialogue between the participants, the leaders and the people of the city and country of the exchange. While the small team at Clash! is made up of staff members from a variety of educational backgrounds and professional interests, we are united in our passion to broaden the horizons of youth of today and tomorrow. Our added value comes from international and multicultural experience. Our interests and passions are shared in the development and implementation of innovative non-formal learning methods. In order to achieve the objectives of Clash!, the focus within the daily work is on these following projects: Vocational Schools: Clash! Exchange & Learning organises internships and educational exchanges to Berlin for students and teachers from vocational/technical schools and universities. These projects not only allow the students to get to know the German work environment and build an international network, but also give the them knowledge about the city of Berlin, German language and German culture. Further, during their stay in Berlin they will interact with a variety of themes which take into consideration the four dimensions of citizenship. The goal is to broaden the horizons of the students by confronting them with new situations. Through short-term international projects, we can create a greater consciousness of other countries and give the students the experience and confidence to stay for a longer period in another country. By taking a quick look at an international work environment in another country, students and teachers can learn fresh, new ideas and work methods to bring back home. Professionals: In addition to organising educational exchanges for students, we are equipped to build programs for professionals or educators. Concerning practical matters, such as those concerning accommodation and culinary needs, these projects operate much like those for the students. In these projects, however, the program can explore a variety of topics in depth, such as the German language or culture, non-formal or experiential learning methods or a variety of academic topics. Exchange: In addition to these projects in Berlin, Clash! Exchange & Learning also organises international exchange and training programs for youth and social/cultural professionals. These projects take place in coordination with other European and North-African social organisation within the framework of the ERASMUS+ program or the program of the Deutsch-Französische Jugendwerke (DFJW). Internships: in the 8 years of the organisation's existence, Clash! has built a large local network with Berlin social organizations for the organization of short and long term international internships. ----------- Clash!
