Europanetzwerk Deutsch

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 activities take place both on site and online.

Weekend German course in Brussels with a day trip to Cologne (04 - 06 April 2025)
How resilient is our democracy in the digital age?

News about digital election manipulation is on the rise and internet platforms are becoming increasingly powerful. What do these developments mean for our democracy and is it sufficiently protected by EU legislation such as the Digital Services Act and the AI Act? We want to explore these and other questions as part of our weekend German course. A day trip to Cologne with a visit to the WDR radio and television production studios and an exclusive guided tour of ‘Democracy in Art’ at the Museum Ludwig round off the course programme. Apply by 21 March!

Talk and Lecture with Wilhelm Bartsch and Yevgeniy Breyger (10.04.25)
niemands Land – HEIMKERN

‘Writing a poem after Auschwitz is barbaric.’ And even though this much-quoted sentence by Theodor W. Adorno has always been the subject of controversy, it seems impossible to find poetic words in the face of speechless brutality. Yet this is exactly what Yevgeniy Breyger did when he learnt of Russia's attack on Ukraine, and Wilhelm Bartsch's poetic journey around the world sometimes takes him to oppressive places. Why they took this risk, what significance the poem has in today's world and why they chose this genre - this and much more will be the subject of the moderated discussion.
