In the years 2015 and 2016 the class 9b of the Realschule Balingen and students from the Milwaukee School of Languages participated in a project for high school and college students in Germany and the USA that went far beyond the traditional objectives of regular school exchanges.
Part 1: Milwaukee goes Balingen (Mon. October 19 - Fri. October 30, 2015)
Part 2: Balingen goes Milwaukee (Fri. April 1 - Sat. April 16, 2016)

The "High School Exchange" was developed by the German-American Institute Tuebingen (dai). It was very generously supported by the Transatlantic Program of the Federal Republic of Germany, which is funded by the European Ministry of Economics and Energy (BMWi), as well as by a great number of other supporters:
