Cornelsen Summer University

The Cornelsen Summer University invites teachers from all school types, subjects, and federal states to a three-day, practice-oriented training event in Berlin. In workshops on current topics such as AI-supported lesson design, stress management, and career orientation, participants receive new impulses for everyday school life. The program is complemented by exchange and networking formats, where experiences are shared and collaborations encouraged. The Cornelsen Foundation for Teaching and Learning covers all workshop costs, accommodation, and the supporting program. Only travel expenses and a moderate administrative fee are to be borne by the participants. Selection is made by lottery to ensure a heterogeneous composition with diverse perspectives. Applications are possible until April 30, 2026; free participation offers a unique opportunity to gain inspiration and strengthen professional practice.

With the aim of networking teachers and sustainably promoting their professional development, the Summer University creates space for creative ideas and innovative approaches. Through professional exchange and interactive formats, a vibrant learning environment emerges that reveals new possibilities for teaching. As a nationwide open offer, the funding is aimed at individuals in the teaching profession who wish to expand their pedagogical stance through intensive dialogue with colleagues from across the country. The initiative not only strengthens professional competence but also promotes collaboration beyond school boundaries. Interested teachers can find information on the website of the Cornelsen Foundation for Teaching and Learning and submit their application online to become part of this inspiring further training.
