From 27 September to 3 October, representatives of various non-profit organizations took part in a self-organized educational delegation to San Francisco.

The program included visits to The Arc, Common Sense Media, Student, Family & Coommunity Support, the International Ocean Film Festival, the Office of Developmental Primary Care, the Bay Area Video Coalition, the Goethe-Institut SF and Consumer Action.

The last day of the trip ended with a celebratory reception at the German Consulate in San Francisco to mark German Unity Day!

The diverse program reflected the institutional backgrounds of the travelers and enabled a lot of interesting and professional exchange with the colleagues in San Francisco.
