The work of FGI UK is so important as it enhances the awareness of German language and culture, through educational and cultural exchanges, connecting young people in Germany and the UK. This creates a spirit of mutually beneficial co-operation and promotes friendship and a greater understanding between these countries.

In a world where the geopolitical challenges need more intercultural exchange and appreciation than ever, we need young people from all backgrounds to cross borders, meet physically and get to know and respect each other. We, the Friends of the Goethe Institut London, support the Goethe Institute London by providing funds, which allow more young people to take part and benefit from the variety of exchange programs between Germany and the United Kingdom. It is always overwhelming to get first hand feedback from participants after they joined one of the programs and started to build lifelong intercultural connections.
