Alumni Programme

For the alumni/ae of the Dialogue and Change projects, the Goethe-Institut has been offering various activities and workshops since 2015. Within the framework of these alumni offers, the women and men who have successfully completed any of its various projects and training are brought together.

The Alumni/ae Programme does not only create networking but also further training opportunities for Goethe alumni, who come from very different sectors – the independent culture scene or ministries – as well as individual backgrounds. The Goethe-Institut organises workshops, discussions, performances, and networking events that allow alumni/ae to get to know each other and share their experience across different projects. At the same time, they may benefit from these events to develop their soft skills and knowledge.
 
Since many alumni of the “Dialogue and Change” projects were qualified as trainers, the Goethe-Institut also invites them to organise trainings about different topics themselves, which are open for all other alumni to attend. This training format was already tested in Egypt in 2016, and has proven successful ever since.

The Alumni/ae Programme is a project of the Goethe-Institut and supported by the German Federal Foreign Office.

Participants of the Dialogue & Transition Programme

The alumni of the Dialogue & Transition Programme are just as distinct as the projects of the programme: They come from different fields – like the independent cultural scene or from ministries – with various backgrounds.

Previous participants take over the Alumni Program

The Alumni/ae Program was launched by the Goethe-Institut in 2015. While most previous workshops have been conducted by external trainers, this November two parallel trainings will be held by two alumni/ae.

The alumni/ae of the Dialogue and Transition projects are active in many different areas. Each and every one of them is engaged with topics which are particularly close to their hearts, be it environmental protection or the empowerment of women and children.

Creating impulses

The alumni/ae of the Dialogue & Transition projects are very diverse and have participated in many different projects. They are however united by some interests, as was shown for example when they came together around seemingly heterogeneous topics.
