DAS GOETHE-INSTITUT SRI LANKA : AN DIESEM ORT ÖFFNET SICH EINE
NEUE WELT.
The Goethe-Institut Sri LankaWhere a whole new world opens
up.
At the Goethe-Institut, learning German is not only about
grammar rules and vocabulary. It also means exploring German
literature, music, film and current affairs as well as getting to
know German cuisine. At the Goethe-Institut you can hope to bump
into such luminaries from the world of the arts and letters as the
author Ilija Trojanov or the choreographer Pina Bausch.
Sharing a common language paves the way to an intercultural
exchange with no barriers. This is the starting point for the
Goethe-Institut. As an official cultural institution of the Federal
Republic of Germany, we are much more than a language school. With
our wide-ranging cultural programmes and access to our libraries,
we bring the German language, culture and society to life
everywhere in the world.
Languages open up horizons - no matter when or where. Since 1957
the Goethe-Institut Sri Lanka has broadened the professional and
personal horizons of 100,000 people who have attended its German
courses. But stepping inside Goethe-Institut means an encounter
with more than just the German language - it is an encounter with
Germany. Welcome to the Goethe-Institut Sri Lanka!
MAN KANN DEUTSCHLAND BESCHREIBEN ODER ES AM BESTEN GLEICH SELBST
ERLEBEN.
You can describe Germany or even better, come and experience it
for yourself.
Our basis for working with others is a dialogue between
partners. Within our network and with our cooperative partners we
have been developing innovative programmes and concepts for
teaching and presenting language and culture for more than six
decades and are firmly committed to quality, with passion-and a
consistent track record.
