Newsletter September 2023

Dear readers

After the long summer break in August, we finally have events coming up again at the institute. We are especially happy to implement the first projects from our call for applications together with the artists. You will find a small overview further down in this newsletter.

Our intern Pauline will be leaving the Goethe-Institut in a few days. In the upcoming month, we will welcome Paulina as a new intern and Alice as a Kulturweit volunteer!

For our language department, the third trimester of this year begins on September 4th! We wish all our students a successful start of the trimester. The exams will take place in December, and more detailed information will be communicated in due time.

We look forward to welcoming you at the institute for one or more of our events!

See you soon
