By supporting socially committed students and academics from the countries of the Global South, KAAD gains partners for long term cooperation in a worldwide network. The aim of this international and intercultural cooperation is to work together towards a sustainable future in a just, tolerant and peaceful world.
The financial support of study projects in Germany is the beginning of a long term partnership at eye level with alumnae and alumni all over the world. After their studies, they work in their home countries as multipliers and bridge builders between cultures and nations, and between universities and society, and become valuable agents of change.
Personal support during the study period, an educational programme alongside the studies and many opportunities for intercultural encounters make KAAD a learning community. Prejudice towards other cultures is reduced and valuable professional contacts are made, which form the basis for later cooperation in the worldwide alumni network.
