You loved it?
Want to tell others how great it was?
Then become a DAAD Young Ambassador!
Young Ambassadors are students who have recently visited a university or research centre in

workplace. Young Ambassadors help inspire their fellows to study in Germany by answering
questions from students, organizing their own events on and off campus and volunteering at

Germany, learn valuable presentation and organizational skills and make a difference in
something they feel strongly about.
