Call for Action: Fulbright Futures Video Project

call for action

Dear Alumni,

Fulbright Germany turns 70! That makes us very happy and we want to share our joy with you and the world. Besides an array of events throughout the year, there will be an anniversary website and much more. One of the ideas we have won’t be possible without your help. For the anniversary video project Fulbright Futures we want to collect 70 videos with your stories!

Please participate and send us your personal “why Fulbright was important to you” video!

70 years of student exchange between Germany and the US, 70 years full of exciting stories and encounters. The experiences were all individual and yet they have one thing in common: Getting to know another culture has touched everyone in one way or another.

We want to collect these individual experiences for our Fulbright Futures anniversary video project.

Would you like to join us and tell us what the Fulbright exchange meant to you?

What was the most exciting moment of your exchange?

How did the experience influence your life or career?

It would be amazing if you could send us a short (no longer than one minute) video of yourself that we can share on our anniversary website and on social media. You can find the content and technical suggestions, as well as a media-release on the internal documents page of our members section (log in required).

Please send your video with the signed media-release form to alumni@fulbright.de(it can also be a link to the video on a cloud storage etc.)

Thinking outside the box, being open to new experiences, learning another language, developing academically is what Fulbright is all about – now as much as 70 years ago. Let your stories inspire others to take that step into the world. We’d love for you to take part!

Everyone is busy and very preoccupied with the challenges and crises at the moment. Nevertheless, we would value your support of this project since now more than ever it is crucial to reaffirm the power of international understanding.

Thank you so very much and best regards from the Fulbright Community

Unterstützung für die Menschen der Ukraine

Liebe Alumni,

mit Fassungslosigkeit müssen wir zusehen, wie der Angriff auf die Ukraine den Krieg zurück nach Europa bringt. Wir als Fulbrighter, die für Frieden und Völkerverständnis stehen, wollen gemeinsam denjenigen Menschen helfen, die durch den Krieg betroffen sind.

Um durch regionale Unterstützung oder Spenden helfen zu können, haben wir ein Dokument aufgesetzt, in welches wir alle bisherigen Informationen, die uns erreicht haben, zusammengefasst haben. Dieses findet ihr hier:

Fulbright Community Helps Ukraine – Links and Local Information

Wir als Fulbright Gemeinschaft können viel bewegen und die Ukraine und alle angrenzenden, betroffenen, Länder unterstützen! Bitte engagiert euch – egal in welcher Form.

Schreibt uns bitte! Damit wir es zentral sammeln und verteilen können, nutzt bitte die neu eingerichtete E-Mail Adresse: helpukraine@fulbtight-alumni.de.

Wenn ihr also von weiteren Initiativen, Gruppen o.ä. hört, die die Ukrainer: innen unterstützen oder nützlichen Links und wichtige Informationen habt, dann schickt sie uns, sodass wir gemeinsame Hilfe koordinieren können.

Danke an alle, die im Großen und im Kleinen in dieser schwierigen Zeit die Ukraine unterstützen.

Euer Vorstand

Andi, Johannes, Sarah, Alex & Michael
