Are you cooperating with institutions in Germany or planning to expand your cultural network in Germany? Maybe you already have German-speaking cooperation partners and therefore you want to improve your German language skills?
 
The Goethe-Institut Finnland offers yearly 1-2 scholarships for German courses (max. 2 weeks) at Goethe-Institutes in Germany for cultural actors and professionals working in Finland. If you already have some German skills and work in the field of culture, as a producer, artist, or curator, this could be for you.

While you work on your German in a half-day group language course, you will also have enough time to meet colleagues from the German cultural field and to get a taste of the local scene. In the last years, all sorts of follow-up projects and transnational cooperations have developed

  • a max. 2-week German intensive course of the Goethe-Institut
  • accommodation organised by the Goethe-Institut
  • max. 200 € support for travel expenses
