- Descripción:
- The Goethe-Institut is the cultural institute of the Federal Republic of Germany with a global reach.
We promote knowledge of the German language abroad and foster international cultural cooperation. We convey a comprehensive picture of Germany by providing information on Germany's cultural, social and political life.
Through our network of Goethe-Institutes, Goethe Centres, cultural societies and reading rooms, alongside our examination and language learning centres, we perform the principal tasks of cultural and educational policy abroad. We work in partnership with public and private cultural bodies, the German federal states and municipalities, and the corporate sector.
We draw on the rich variety of our many-faceted open society and Germany's lively culture. We combine the experiences and conceptions of our partners in Germany and abroad with our professional skills and engage in a dialogue rooted in partnership. In doing so, we function as service providers and partners for everyone taking an active interest in Germany and the German language and culture, and act independently with no political affiliations.
We face the cultural policy challenges of globalisation and develop innovative concepts for a world made more human through mutual understanding, where cultural diversity is seen as an asset.
The Goethe-Institut Chicago organizes and supports a broad spectrum of cultural events, chief among them the awarding of the Helen and Kurt Wolff Translator’s Prize. Along with being the focal point for the Institut’s work promoting German literature in translation, it serves as a connection point with American publishing as well.
Our language department offers courses at all levels of proficiency, workshops and seminars for teachers of German as a foreign language throughout the Midwest, as well as a comprehensive testing program.
In the reading room one can find German literature both in the original language and translation, materials for German as a foreign language, daily and weekly newspapers as well as current German television programming--ideal for all who are interested in German or Germany or who are learning or would like to learn German.
The Goethe-Institut Chicago is responsible for the following states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota Ohio and Wisconsin. If you live in a state other than these, please get in touch with your nearest Institut.
