Germany Close Up – North American Jews Meet Modern Germany is a youth encounter program for Jewish, North American students and young professionals aged between 18 and 39. The program is funded by a grant from the German Government’s Transatlantic Program, which draws on funds from the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. As such, the program aims to encourage German-Jewish-North American dialogue as well as to strengthen the involvement of the North American Jewish community in transatlantic relations.
Germany Close Up brings 250 participants on ten to twelve programs to Germany each year. Participants are Jewish, North-American students and young professionals aged between 18 and 39. Our programs aim to give participants the opportunity to experience contemporary Germany firsthand. The majority of programs are organized together with Jewish partner organizations based in North America and which cover a diverse range of religious and political backgrounds.
