Munich/Cincinnati Teacher Exchange Program
Since 1991 educators in Munich and Cincinnati have enriched their lives through this educational and cultural exchange. On many exchange days, participants attend school with their partner, gaining insight into instructional practices, educational philosophy, school norms, and more. Some weekdays are spent visiting the ‘can’t miss’ sights of Munich and Cincinnati. Evenings and weekends offer time to relax and enjoy the partner’s home and family, and to experience the rich culture of these vibrant cities.
