The German Foreign Office and the Goethe-Institut promote the German language as a working and procedural language in the European institutions through the exclusive grant programme ‘Europanetzwerk Deutsch’. Various language course programmes and events on socio-political and cultural topics provide the opportunity to improve existing German language skills and to become part of a committed alumni network in Europe. The ‘Europanetzwerk Deutsch’s’ activities take place both on site and online.
The “Schools: Partners for the Future” (PASCH) initiative creates a global network of more than 2,000 PASCH schools with particular ties to Germany. The Goethe-Institut supports around 600 PASCH schools in the national education systems of over 100 countries.
The Alumniportal Deutschland is a social network to promote networking and the exchange of knowledge between Germany alumni, companies, universities and organisations.
