About us
Houston

We connect people all over the world. As a cultural institution of the Federal Republic of Germany, we promote cultural exchange, education and societal discourse in an international context, and support the teaching and learning of the German language. Together with our partners, we focus on global opportunities and challenges, bringing different perspectives into a dialogue based on trust. We regard the ability to listen and to reflect as the key to understanding. We are bound by principles of transparency, diversity and sustainability. These principles characterise our services and our way of working.

The Goethe-Institut Houston is a branch of the Goethe-Institut Chicago. This expansion underscores the Goethe-institut's commitment to German-American cultural exchange in the United States.

The Goethe-Institut Houston will focus on cultural programming and community engagement through events and partnerships aimed at strengthening intercultural dialogue.
