The Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan New Delhi, in collaboration with Education Department, Govt. of NCT of Delhi, organized the annual German festival "Namaste Deutschland" for all German learners from Delhi NCR.
Namaste Deutschland is our annual festival to celebrate the German language and culture. A colourful programme of exhibitions, workshops, competitions, info sessions, film screenings and much more is dedicated to a specific theme each year. The festival is aimed at all German learners at our partner schools.
This year the theme was: Sports & Culture. Germans and Indians are passionate about sports. There is no question about that - and not only football & cricket. There's also basketball, gymnastics, hiking, badminton, tennis and much more. Sports are a very important part of our culture and part of our everyday life. So this year in the framework of Namaste Deutschland Sports were the medium - to collaborate, to get to know each other and the German culture better.
The festival was aimed at all German learners and teachers at our partner schools. A maximum of 30 students per school was able to register.
