Communicating with the world. For diversity, understanding and trust.
We connect people all over the world. As a cultural institution of the Federal Republic of Germany, we promote cultural exchange, education and societal discourse in an international context, and support the teaching and learning of the German language. Together with our partners, we focus on global opportunities and challenges, bringing different perspectives into a dialogue based on trust. We regard the ability to listen and to reflect as the key to understanding. We are bound by principles of transparency, diversity and sustainability. These principles characterise our services and our way of working.
Since 1962, Canada’s Goethe-Instituts have been connecting people through language, culture and education. In 2022, we were delighted to present a review of six decades of language and cultural work from the institutes in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto.
