Foreign exchange goes both ways

Beaver Dam High School students traveled to Germany this summer as part of the German American Partnership Program to stay with host families. On Oct. 22, 27 students from the host families arrived in Beaver Dam for a visit from Giessen (spelled Gießen in German), about an hour north of Frankfurt.

The German students visited Washington, D.C., when they first arrived in the U.S.A.

The German American Partnership Program, which began in the 1970s, is supported by the German Foreign Ministry and the U.S. State Department. Each year, approximately 9,000 American and German students visit their partner schools. Beaver Dam and Giessen have one of the longest running exchanges, dating back to 1979.

GAPP students visit BDHS : Beaver Dam Daily Citizen

The student population at Beaver Dam High School grew over the last two weeks.

Thirty students from Germany visited BDHS as part of the German American Partnership Program, and 30 Beaver Dam families are serving as their hosts.

Beaver Dam Unified School District German Oriel Combs said BDHS students traveled to Germany last summer, and that many of the students whose families served as hosts then are visiting now. Combs said BDHS students travel to Germany every other summer and German students visit the USA every other fall. Beaver Dam exchanges students with the city of Giessen, Germany, located about an hour north of Frankfurt.

Since it began in 1972, the German American Partnership Program has grown from 150 schools participating to 800 today, with more than 300,000 student participants. It serves as a short-term exchange program, with visits that last at least 16 days, with a minimum of two weeks with host families and 10 days of school attendance.
