AFS Germany has developed virtual/digital programs together with its subsidiary InterCultur. The programs are designed for different target groups aged between 14 and 21 years and are completely conducted online. Programs are conducted in English and start at the end of October and in mid-November. Volunteers can utilize the below fact sheets to promote these new programs, and interested students can apply directly through the online applications available at the links provided.
