Dear Friends, Partners and Alumni, Here it is – the latest edition of your DAAD Cairo Newsletter. The Academic Year is drawing to a close, two very interesting and truly turbulent semesters lie behind us. What direction the country is taking is not clear, yet – after the election(s) later in the year we probably know more. However, one thing is sure: our work, the necessity of international collaboration in Higher Education is more important than ever. The German government has offered Egypt a „Transformation partnership“ on the way to a more demo-cratic society. This will mean more intense collaboration, more summer schools, more partnerships and also more scholarships. Amongst other things, we will multiply the number of grants for our programme “Public Policy and Good Governance” (see in-side). We hope very much that we can contribute a tiny little bit to the success of the democratic revolution. Some of the offers you will find in this issue, some more will follow in the next edition of our newsletter. For the moment I should like to wish everybody an enjoyable, peaceful and relaxing summer. The DAAD Cairo office will close during the month of August and will reopen after the feast. Very best wishes, Dr. Michael Harms Director DAAD Cairo Office

All master courses follow an interdisciplinary approach and are designed for yearly intakes of 10 Arab and 10 German partici-pants; respective scholarships are provided by DAAD. Self-paying participants may apply. Apart from their specialization, these master courses concentrate on intercultural competences, on practical training and eventually forming networks among specialists from the MENA countries and Germany. In principle, the first semester is spent at the Arab university and the second one at the German university; the final two semesters are reserved for internships and writing of the master thesis. While IWRM, REMENA and ECAR require full attendance, INE-MA is designed as a blended learning course with only two weeks presence phases per semester in Ludwigsburg and Helwan re-spectively. A fifth bi-cultural master course in the field of green architecture, Integrated Urbanism and Sustainable Development, IUSD, conducted by the Universities of Ain Shams and Stuttgart, will start its first intake in Germany in October. It is co-financed by the Egyptian Ministry for Higher Education and Scientific Research and will be taught in Stuttgart for the first two semesters, then continue with two semesters of practice-related training at Ain Shams.

The day ended with a reception for the workshop´s participants and guests hosted by the DAAD on their premises on Zamalek.
On the second day the participants to the workshop, who where about 100 German and Egyptian experts in the field of Higher Education, split into three parallel working sessions where they discussed after inputs of German and Egyptian experts in chang-ing groups of 5 given key questions on the following topics:
Session 1: Higher Education and Good Governance structures – How can universities contribute to support the democratic trans-formation process?
Session 2: Social Sciences and Humanities in Egypt – How can the Social Sciences be linked to the international community?

The extremely successful event ended with closing speeches of Prof. Dr. Sherif Fakhry and Mr. Maximilian Metzger.
The workshop’s outcome is a list of recommendations to a possi-ble GERF call for social sciences aiming to strengthen their role in the democratic reform process in Egypt. Based on the extremely valuable results of this workshop it is expected that STDF and BMBF will issue a new call for research proposals in the field of social sciences by the second half of 2011, as part of the GERF activities, to support scientific research on the role of S&T in the democratic reform process in Egypt.

Deutsche Auslandsschularbeit International ZfA-Regionalbüro
The Central Agency for Schools Abroad (ZfA) oversees the work of schools abroad with ap-prox. 90 employees and currently 58 German Lan-guage Advisors. Over 1000 schools all over the world receive support in the form of personnel and funding. Around 2000 teachers and German Language Advisors work at these institutions and during their time working abroad the ZfA assists them with organization, educational needs and financ-ing. Dr. Antje Thiersch is one of 58 German Language Advisors (Fachberater) in 40 countries worldwide. She is in charge of the German language programs at ZfA-Schools in Egypt and Li-banon, i.e. organizing teachers trainings in Egypt and Germany as well as students workshops, school visits and lesson observa-tions, curriculum development, supervising German Language Diploma (DSD), preparing conferences on teaching and learning German. A unique action implemented in Egypt is the in-school-training for students on their way to become teachers of German as a Foreign Language together with Ain Shams University Cairo, Herder-Institute Leipzig University and DAAD. Following the PASCH-initiative of the German Federal Foreign Office, the lan-guage advisor closely cooperates with other German and Egyp-tian partners and schools throughout the country in order to pro-mote German language and culture.

Dr. Antje Thiersch is also School Coordinator (Schulkoordinatorin) for Egypt. In this role she supports and guides new German schools or school initiatives on their way to reach German educa-tional goals such as the German Language Diploma (DSD), the German International Abitur (DIAP) or the German International Baccalaureate (GIB). A very important part of job is to visit schools on a regular basis and talk to school representatives such as students, parents, teachers, principals and boards. Her posi-tion also demands relating all German Schools in Egypt in order to discuss and decide matters from school structure or organiza-tion all the way to nursery programs and numbers of tests. Alt-hough a stable network of all school principals with periodic meet-ings has been established, there is a demand for more such pan-els in the near future, i.e. for administrators or heads of depart-ments.
Dr. Ehlert Brüser-Sommer will succeed Frank Beckmann as Con-sultant for Eductional Quality Management in German schools abroad after the summer. He also works in the Cairo office of the ZfA. The consultant provides support for the eight German schools in Egypt, but also for the German schools in Libya, Pales-tine, Lebanon, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. A “Quality Framework” published by the ZfA and available in German, English and Arabic is the basis of this quality work in the schools which is regularly subject to self-evaluations, peer reviews and external inspections after which schools usually are certified by the German authorities.

Information brochure about Studying in Germany for parents to be published in Arabic
Up until now, the broschure “Study in Germany: A good choice for your child. 15 Questions and Answers for parents” has only been available in German and English. An Arabic version is to come out soon; it will offer a diversity of information about advantages, opportunities and chances of studies at a German University. In addition parents can get an idea about the costs, necessary prep-arations and living conditions that are related to a stay abroad and may find answers to a couple of questions parents naturally would worry about when sending their child to another country.
In order to reach more parents of prospective students in the Arab World, DAAD Cairo initiated the brochure’s translation into Arabic. The so far international oriented brochure will be adjusted to the region by replacing the previous testimonials by ones of Egyp-tians who used to or are currently studying in Germany and are speaking from their own experience. Parents like Mona El Tobgui, Senior Advisor of the Fraunhofer-Foundation, whose son and daughter both studied in Germany explain why they supported their children on this way. The brochure is expected to be available in autumn.
