Communicating with the world. For diversity, understanding and trust.
We connect people all over the world. As a cultural institution of the Federal Republic of Germany, we promote cultural exchange, education and societal discourse in an international context, and support the teaching and learning of the German language. Together with our partners, we focus on global opportunities and challenges, bringing different perspectives into a dialogue based on trust. We regard the ability to listen and to reflect as the key to understanding. We are bound by principles of transparency, diversity and sustainability. These principles characterise our services and our way of working.
The EU Liaison Office is the interface for the worldwide network of Goethe-Instituts to the European institutions. As the EU Liaison Office, it maintains relations with the European Union. It advises the Goethe-Instituts worldwide on EU funding programmes and carries out EU-funded projects itself.
