It is time to sign up for the next MOTIVATE! term 2023-2024

In the coming weeks, you can sign up for the first round of our new program, which will begin in September 2023. We would be thrilled to have you join us!

What to do now?

1. Read through the questions and answers in our FAQ. If you have any further questions, we will be happy to answer them via email. If you want to clarify something in your native language first or if you have questions that are specific to your study programme or your university, you can ask the contact person of your university. Who is your contact person? See FAQ.

2. Take your time to fill in the application form on this website. In the lower part, you should write a longer text. You can prepare it in a separate document (e.g. Microsoft Office) and then copy it into the form.

The current deadline for registation is 10 June 2023. The sooner you register, the more likely we can find a suitable tandem partner for you so that you can participate.

"In a diverse world, my thoughts should also be diverse, and I have only achieved this by exchanging ideas with people whose thoughts and experiences enrich me. Through the exchange at MOTIVATE! I have come up with completely new thoughts and developed new ideas for myself as a future teacher and also as a person. Celebrating the now of education and having courage and visions for the later is what I have found for myself this year."

Sophie Beer

Student at TU Berlin and former MOTIVATE! student

"MOTIVATE! is a great opportunity if you want to think outside the box as a teacher student. You get to know facets of the teaching profession together with international students, make contacts and form friendships. It really is a good first step if you want to engage with education internationally!"

Jelle Oellrich

Student at TU Berlin, former MOTIVATE! student and exchange student at NTNU

"In any case, it is very valuable to get to know a different culture of teaching. The interaction with lecturers and students in Norway is more on an equal footing, so you get the impression that you are working on something together instead of just solving an impersonal task to generate points. A personal project is created."

Dag-Maximilian Dannehl

Student at TU Berlin and former exchange student at NTNU

"MOTIVATE! provides students with distinct benefits as they develop acceptance for cultural diversity, self-confidence, initiative and curiosity through cross-cultural learning."

Katrine Dalbu Alterhaug

Head of Internationalization at the Teacher Department at NTNU

"Move it again, MOTIVATE! and lets be creative and constructive with all we learned during the pandemic…"

Prof. Markus Cslovjecsek

Project Coordinator at PH FHNW

"MOTIVATE! enables students to freely exchange thoughts and ideas on relevant topics while also gaining important intercultural skills and knowledge."

Lina Schmidt

Student and staffmember of MOVE IT! at TU Berlin

“In the world today, schools can only succeed with an international approach: the diversity of pupils in Berlin and elsewhere, the social and technological challenges of the future, all this is globally and locally connected and we need a reflexive, well-informed and open-minded view across any borders.”

Prof. Dr. Susann Fegter

Director of the School of Education SETUB
