KAAD offers a series of seminars (duration between three and four days), some of which a directed to the entire community of scholarship holders and others are mainly addressed to the different continental groups. Themes of these events center around issues of development policies and religious topics. Usually specialists from different areas, such as science, politics, society, and Church are invited as speakers.
These seminars form an integral part of our sponsorship programs throughout the time scholarship holders spend in Germany. Seminars shall also prepare the ground for students’ professional re-integration at home.
Another key-aspect of KAAD educational work represent academies and seminars which take place abroad. These regularly scheduled events are co-organized by the Bonn office and regional and local partners.

Ebtihal Abdel Kawi Shedid (Egypt)
It takes just a quick encounter with Ebtihal Abdel Kawi Shedid to feel that communication is her passion. Being a graduate in German Literature, a KAAD scholarship offered her the opportunity to start a formation as a professional interpreter in Germany. Just before the revolution in early 2011, she had returned back home. Her position as an editor of the bilingual online magazine "Transit" issued by the Goethe Institute in Cairo is now giving her the chance to add momentum to the discourse on the social and cultural transition of her country. "Transit" features articles, blogs and commentaries by "facebook generation" authors from all over the Middle East and North Africa.
