Write us an email at kavitha.nagananthan.extern@goethe.de

Our information sessions provide you with information on living and working in Germany. The topics range from proof of language proficiency, recognition of certificates, health and school systems to the visa process. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and get an overview of other advice centres.

When people from different cultures meet, uncertainties and frustrations may arise. Living in a foreign society is successful when trusting relationships can be built and maintained. For this to happen, criteria must be fulfilled, which we would like to introduce to you through our intercultural workshops.

To take up a job in Germany, you have to prove your German language skills. In our workshops on examination and learning strategies, we support you in developing learning strategies and familiarizing for the language examinations of the Goethe-Institut.

Are you leaving for Germany soon or are you already there? In our regular workshops "Mein Weg nach Deutschland: Living and working in Germany” you will receive comprehensive information to help you prepare for your arrival in Germany and make it easier for you to settle in.
