Open Calls

The International Forum is an 18-day scholarship programme of the Berlin Theatertreffen, one of the most prestigious festivals for German-language theatre. Each year, around 30 emerging theatre makers from across the world are invited to Berlin to attend performances, participate in workshops, exchange ideas, and build international networks. This opportunity is open to theatre makers from all disciplines of the performing arts worldwide and takes place from 6th to 23rd May in Berlin.

From 14 to 20 March 2027, the Literarisches Colloquium Berlin and the TOLEDO Programme, in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut and the Pro Helvetia Foundation, invite applicants to the next Internationales Treffen der Übersetzer:innen deutschsprachiger Literatur.

Up to 20 participants from around the world will have the opportunity to learn about current developments in contemporary German literature and to join the TOLEDO network through personal contacts with authors, publishers, and critics, as well as with colleagues from other countries. The three-day seminar phase at the LCB will be followed by a visit to the Leipzig Book Fair. Travel and accommodation costs will be covered.

Arts Infopoint UK is a pilot initiative to support the arts sector with information on practical issues relating to artist mobility. The project will look at ways to provide support for international artists visiting the UK as well as venues or companies in the UK who want to invite an international artist or company to perform here.

The Goethe-Institut promotes culture and the arts in every discipline. We provide funding to enable professional as well as newcomer and amateur artists, whether in groups or individually, to carry out residencies and projects in Germany or abroad.
