In March 2024, the „Deutschland plus“ competition awarded Lycée Emile Boga Doudou from Lakota, Côte d'Ivoire, as the winner of this exceptional edition. This competition, aimed at German clubs worldwide, enabled this institution to be selected for an educational trip to Germany.

Starting in September 2024, the seven students and their supervisor from Lycée Emile Boga Doudou will embark on a fully-funded three-week journey to Germany. This trip will provide a unique opportunity for these young talents to experience German culture in an immersive and enriching way.

The winners will have the chance to enjoy a comprehensive educational experience alongside their German peers. The program includes German language classes tailored to their level, visits to renowned museums, and other engaging cultural activities. This journey is designed to combine learning with leisure, offering participants a deep understanding of German culture while enhancing their language skills.

The „Deutschland plus“ competition goes beyond mere awards; it is part of a broader initiative aimed at strengthening cultural exchanges and promoting the learning of German on an international scale. By highlighting the talents and commitment of German clubs, it plays a crucial role in building cultural bridges and encouraging international cooperation.

This trip is not only an adventure for the winners but also a testament to the power of educational exchanges in fostering mutual understanding and cultural enrichment.
