## Questions and Answers

**What is a product?**

Encounters between Munich schoolchildren and their foreign partners are funded if they work together on a project or topic and a presentable product in the form of a visible result is available at the end. In principle, projects from all areas of social coexistence that promote diversity-conscious, intercultural learning are possible.  


**How do I find a partner school?**

Many school partnerships come about through personal contacts or with the help of official institutions, which you can find under Forms & Links. Participation in EU education programmes can also lead to a "classic" school partnership. Our office will also support you with enquiries and placement requests.

**Can teachers' travel expenses also be reimbursed?**  


Travelling expenses can be reimbursed for municipal teachers. To do so, the trip abroad must be authorised in writing by the school management or the supervisor before the start of the trip. The application for reimbursement of travel expenses must be submitted to the department within six months of the end of the trip.
