Education connects - especially across national borders. The Bavarian Minister of Culture is a guest in the Czech capital in the sign of close cooperation between Bavaria and the Czech Republic. The focus is on talking to her counterpart Mikulas Bek, Minister of Education, Youth and Sport. Together they advise you on paths to further intensify bilateral cooperation. It should also be about new impulses and ideas for cross -border education projects.
Minister of Culture Anna Stolz is pleased about the exchange: Intercultural encounters open heart and build bridges - they bring people together, promote understanding and make new perspectives arise. This is why the dialogue with our Czech educational partner is very concerned. I was very happy to come to Prag Trusting cooperation - our students particularly benefit from this.
The Czech Education Minister Mikulas also underlines the added value of the cooperation between Bavaria and the Czech Republic: The Czech Republic and Bavaria have a long tradition of cooperation in the education sector, which repeatedly opens up new opportunities for our students and teachers. The German language plays a key role in this - it opens the door to further studies, career and deeper understanding of our neighbors. Intercultural competencies within the framework of cross -border projects will contribute to the fact that a new generation of young people who are being prepared for the European cooperation and the common challenges of the future grows.
As part of her stay, the Minister of Culture also visits the German School Prague - a German school abroad and open all -day school with a diverse educational offer including afternoon care. On site, Anna proudly gives herself insight into school life, takes part in teaching visits and has discussions with representatives of the school community.
