Sustainability in the foreground

In Southeast Asia, the Goethe-Institut strives to implement its activities in the most resource-efficient and sustainable way possible, based on the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (SDGs). With our programs for international cultural and educational exchange, we raise awareness among people of different generations. Education for sustainable development has become an integral part of our work. Here we give you an overview of our education projects with a sustainability focus.

Network Climate

In early August 2022, more than 30 young German learners and German teachers from six countries in Southeast Asia came to Thailand to develop ideas that could solve very specific environmental problems in their city or school. This exchange took place within the framework of the regional project "Netzwerk Klima", through which the educational activities of the Goethe-Institut Thailand were linked to sustainability issues.
