Europanetzwerk Deutsch

On 23 February 2026, as part of its Europanetzwerk Deutsch programme, the Goethe-Institut Brussels, in collaboration with the Bavarian State Agency for Political Education and with the kind support of the Representation of the Free State of Bavaria to the EU, invites you to a reading followed by a discussion on the culture of remembrance and political debate. The starting point is Grete Weil's novel Der Weg zur Grenze (The Road to the Border) and Clemens Tangerdings's non-fiction book Rückkehr nach Rottendorf (Return to Rottendorf). The focus is on the question of how historical memory shapes today's political and social discourse and under what conditions mutual understanding can be achieved.

Within the framework of online German group courses (A2 - C1), ministerial officials from the Permanent Representations of the EU Member States, journalists and ministerial officials from the EU Member States, EU candidate countries and the additional countries (Great Britain, Iceland, Norway, and Kosovo) receive language training. Participants from the fields of diplomacy and journalism take part in the face-to-face courses together. The spring/summer term will start from the 10th of March onwards. If you are interested in participating, we invite you to send your application before the 22th of February.     

Our intensive language courses take place at various locations in Germany (e.g. in Berlin, Frankfurt, Dresden, Munich) and include both, expert discussions with representatives of ministries and professionally relevant specialists as well as an accompanying cultural programme.

Here you will find information about our different German courses’ formats. The focus of these courses is the teaching and practical application of the German language on the basis of socially and politically relevant topics.
