Thank you for your interest in participating in the Meet-a-German initiative of Fulbright Germany and the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG) as part of Wunderbar Together 2021.

Meet-a-German will be organized as a virtual event. This means that matched speakers will conduct their classroom sessions via Zoom or an alternative video conferencing platform. Please be aware that it is the responsibility of the teachers to invite the speaker to the platform that the school/class uses. As a participant, please make sure that all necessary technical equipment for the virtual event is available, e.g. laptop camera & microphone.

That being said: If COVID-19 permits, you are in the USA at the time and are matched in the area (which we strive for), you could also meet in person by individual arrangement and at your own risk.

Please complete this questionnaire by August 16 to register. We look forward to receiving your information and will get in touch with you after August 16.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us via email: meetagerman@fulbright.de.

Kind regards,

Helene Altenstein

Address for Matching

Please note: Meet-a-German is organized as a virtual event. However, we will still base the matching process on geographic proximity for speakers who live in the U.S. or who plan to move there soon. This way – COVID-19 permitting and if we were able to match you with a school in the area – you are also free to meet in person instead by individual arrangement and at your own risk.

If you do not currently live in the U.S., but will move to the U.S. by October 6, we will use your future U.S. address for the matching process. If you do not know your future address yet, please enter the address of your future university or place of work. Moreover, if the autofill system is unable to locate your address, please enter an address close to you.

So: If you live in the U.S. or Germany permanently, please click “Same as above”. If you are planning to move to the U.S. by October 6, please click “Other” and state your future U.S. address as detailed as you can.

II. Host School

If you are living in the U.S. or plan to do move there soon, we encourage you to get in touch directly with a school in your community to plan a Meet-a-German session. If not, we will try to connect you with a school:

Yes, I am already in contact with a school.No, please match me with a school if possible.

Please note: Speakers and schools are responsible for coordinating the timing of the virtual classroom session on October 6, 2021 amongst themselves once they are matched. If the speaker is located in Germany, time zone differences should be taken into consideration.

If you are already connected to a local school to plan your activity, please provide us with contact information:

We then capture the information that is transmitted as part of the registration process. This includes in particular names and transmitted contact data, address data and other data required for the implementation of the program.

The personal data collected from you will be used to check your registration and for the subsequent implementation of the program (legal basis Art. 6 para. 1b GDPR). In addition, we process your data to fulfill legal obligations (legal basis Art. 6 para. 1c GDPR) or on the basis of legitimate interests of us or third parties (legal basis Art. 6 para. 1f GDPR), e.g. in connection with conducting surveys to evaluate the program. For the publication of your personal data on our website and for future information on further events, we ask for your consent (legal basis Art. 6 para. 1a GDPR).

You are not obliged to provide the aforementioned personal data. The data is necessary for the participation in Meet-a-German and without it the coordination and your participation in Meet-a-German cannot take place.

A transfer of your personal data takes place on the basis of legal provisions or a contractual agreement to public bodies in the presence of overriding legal provisions, to external service providers or other contractors and to other external bodies, insofar as you have given your consent or a transfer is permissible for predominant interest. In this context, we intend to transfer data to a third country (USA) for the purpose of implementing the program.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case at the end of the following year. (Unless you have consented that we may contact you again if the program is organized in future.)
