We promote cultural exchange, education and social dialogue

The Goethe-Institut promotes international cultural exchange and focuses on cohesion around the world. Our projects are developed in close partnership with institutions, initiatives and artists in Cyprus. We build bridges between culture, education and science and create free spaces for an open exchange on the basis of trust.

Europe

The Goethe-Institut strengthens the European integration process and conveys the cultural diversity of Europe as well as Germany's contribution to it. It works in and for Europe. It advocates a common European cultural space based on cultural diversity and autonomy. At the same time, the Goethe-Institut reflects on "Europe" as a topic both within and outside the borders of the European Union.
