The Goethe-Institut is Germany’s cultural institute. It offers educational opportunities, promotes intercultural relations, and organises cultural events that attract thousands of people each year.
The Goethe-Institut sets internationally recognised standards in the teaching of German as a foreign language. At the Goethe-Institut London we run language courses, compile teaching materials, train teachers, and participate in initiatives to promote the learning of German as a foreign language.
We continuously monitor trends in Germany and offer programmes that present the most topical developments in German literature, visual arts, theatre, dance, film and music. By collaborating with international partners in a variety of events we promote cultural partnerships.
At the Goethe-Institut London we present Germany as it is today by providing information on its cultural, social and political life. Our extensive Library and Information Services offer resources for everyone interested in contemporary Germany and for those teaching or studying German.
