SUMMARY:Return and Reintegration: Challenges for International Students
DESCRIPTION:Note: This workshop will take place on December 11\, 12 and 14
 \, 2026.\nFor KAAD scholars\, the period of their studies or doctorate in 
 Germany is a comparatively short period of their professional lives. In te
 rms of cultural and academic challenges\, however\, it is one of the most 
 intensive phases of life\, as complex learning and experience processes ar
 e concentrated here. Students must quickly adapt to a social life that is 
 just as foreign to them as the requirements of the German university syste
 m.As soon as they begin to settle in\, it is time to prepare for their pro
 fessional career and reintegration in their home country. This involves bo
 th career prospects and finding their way back into the social and cultura
 l environment. The diverse experiences in Germany need to be integrated in
 to these old contexts. This process of reintegration is often associated w
 ith greater challenges than the initial phase in Germany.This workshop fir
 st gives participants the opportunity to discuss their thoughts and prepar
 ations for returning in small groups. KAAD alumni and alumnae then report 
 on the process of returning from their home countries and share recommenda
 tions and best-practice examples in digital feeds. In a further step\, ins
 titutions and actors that may be relevant for the various phases of reinte
 gration will be introduced. In this way\, the participants can jointly pre
 pare strategies for a successful return.
