Please refer to the full funding opportunity and the FAQs attached to the Related Documents section.The Embassy of the United States of America is offering multi-year funding for the organization and implementation of an annual, nationwide teacher training seminar for educators on the high school level, curriculum developers, teacher trainers, senior, junior, and future teachers, as well as textbook editors in Germany. The seminar will focus on subjects such as English, American Studies, history, and the social sciences. Special attention will be given to “Quereinsteiger” teachers, who will be teaching in the English-language classroom without rigorous university training in American Studies.Input and materials should go beyond textbook content. They should significantly deepen the participants’ understanding of U.S. society and help them strengthen democratic values in the classroom. Expert speakers should focus on, for example,(1) balanced and broad political, historical, and cultural content(2) current developments in the U.S.(3) issues and measures related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEIA) to foster an appreciation of individual differences(4) innovative concepts to combat global challenges such as climate change and to modernize our educational, social, and economic systems(5) concepts to strengthen the transatlantic partnership that involve the next generation.Through their participation in the seminar, project participants should be empowered to provide their students with relevant, current, and profound insights into U.S. related content.The successful applicant (the “implementer”) should have a deep understanding of Germany’s federal educational landscape and school curricula in 16 German Länder in subjects that cover U.S. related content, among them predominantly English as well as history and the social sciences. The implementer should serve as a bridge between schools and the university and should be able to update teachers on state-of-the art research in American Studies and pedagogy conducted on the University level.The format of the teacher training seminar should include expert input via lectures, interactive workshops, and informed discussions. Participants should immerse themselves in an English-language environment as an alternative to an actual study tour to the U.S. The implementer should utilize technology where appropriate and state-of-the-art educational methods in conducting immersive and effective sessions. The implementer should look to integrate American voices into the program that cover a breadth of perspectives and experiences.The implementer will be responsible for selecting an appropriate venue and target audiences in all German states (described above), conducting outreach, recruiting participants, and developing and implementing session curricula. The implementer will consult with the Public Diplomacy (PD) section of the U.S. Embassy on already established resources and frameworks for teacher training programs such as the national Teacher Academy and regional seminars.The implementer should expand on existing expert networks and recruit speakers with a fresh and innovative viewpoint for the seminar. Speaker logistics will be administered by the implementer in cooperation with the Public Diplomacy (PD) section of the U.S. Embassy and Consulates. The implementer should also include designated measurement and evaluation procedures in their project design so the Embassy can continually assess project implementation quality and effectiveness.

05/31/2023

U.S. Embassy Tokyo’s Public Affairs Section announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to address International Science and Engineering Online Training. Please follow all instructions below. 1. Priority Region: Japan 2. Program Objectives: U.S. and Japanese economic competitiveness are strengthened through technological advances. Cooperation on science, technology, and engineering benefits both the United States and Japan by spurring innovation and promoting high standard economic growth. This program targets the next generation of leaders in Japan-U.S. technology cooperation. Strong English language communication skills are essential for young people to pursue global careers in STEM fields. Particularly in Japan, however, there are great challenges meeting this goal. This project will support Japanese student participation in the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), a leading international science fair organized yearly by the Washington, D.C. based Society for Science. Each May, more than 1800 students from around the world compete for numerous awards during ISEF, the world’s largest international pre-college STEM competition and a magnet for the next generation of innovators. To bolster Japanese student participation, this project will hold a series of the virtual laboratory counselling sessions over three months for 20 high school STEM students and their coaches from all over the country. This training will strengthen the students’ English communication skills to enhance their participation in then ISEF. Each counselling/training will be held monthly and lead by an ISEF alumnus who can share their experiences and advice regarding the competition. 3. Participants and Audiences: The Embassy will only consider proposals that are geared toward Japanese audiences, in this case high school and university students. If applying from outside of Japan, we highly recommend potential applicants to collaborate and coordinate with project partners in Japan to implement the requested program successfully.
