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.

30 Jahre Europanetzwerk Deutsch - Jubiläumsfeier 2024

Evening event on 14 November in Brussels
Anniversary celebration - 30 years Europanetzwerk Deutsch

At the end of our anniversary year, the Goethe-Institut cordially invites you to celebrate 30 years of the Europanetzwerk Deutsch. ‘Unity in diversity’ - that is the motto of the European Union. But in the face of growing geopolitical systemic rivalries, to what extent can language and cultural mediation contribute to mutual understanding and thus to strengthening this unity? The panel of high-ranking experts and alumni will explore this and other questions as part of the anniversary celebrations in Brussels on 14 November at the Representation of the State of Baden-Württemberg. Registration is possible until 7 November.
