Élysée-Prim-Programm

The Élysée-Prim-Programm is a mobility programme that enables primary and lower-secondary teachers to teach for one school year in France. Participants live and work in French schools, receive preparatory pedagogical training and a language course, and are accompanied by the Franco-German Youth Office (DFJW). The programme aims to promote language learning, internationalisation of schools and Franco-German encounters between pupils and teachers.

Living and working in France; support from the DFJW; mandatory preparatory pedagogical training and a language course; professional development through experience of the French education system.

Primary school teachers, lower-secondary teachers for grades 5 and 6, and childcare workers from the cities of Munich and Dresden. German applicants must have completed training and hold a permanent employment relationship; additional conditions may apply by federal state.
