The Goethe Institute worldwide network of cultural offices of the Federal Republic of Germany fosters international cultural cooperation and knowledge of the German culture and language abroad. Information cultural centres, reading rooms and libraries, discussion forums diverse printed and AV publications convey a current image of Germany and promote the international discourse on key issues of the increasingly globalised society.

Partnerships and funds, criteria and topics

The Goethe-Institute works on the basis of partnership cooperation. Particular importance is given to the joint development of ideas and dialogue from the very incentive of the project. The events are planned together and carried out in a partnership-based division of labour from the idea through the discussion of various formats and forms of events, the selection of artists, ensembles and speakers to financing, management and organisation. Interested organisations are encouraged to communicate their ideas and plans as early as possible so that mutual interests and contributions to the content, promotion, and co-funding can be taken into account. The Goethe-Institute is neither a commercial organiser nor a sponsor: financial contributions to projects that have been planned in advance without the Goethe-institute participation are only eligible under restricted conditions.

The focus is not only on current topics, information and contents but also on lively, sustainable contacts. The aim is to bring people together and contribute to the formation of international networks. The topics of interest are the development of the contemporary cultural scene as well as cultural heritage in and from Germany; Germany, Slovenia and Europe – society, knowledge, history, cultural diversity and perspectives of the neighbourhood; and German as a foreign language in a Europe of multilingualism.


Cultural cooperation

The Goethe-Institute takes up trends in Germany and promotes international cultural cooperation, also through cultural events and festival contributions in the fields of film, dance, music, theatre, exhibitions, literature and translation. They are interested in cooperation with partners all over Slovenia, not only in the urban centres.

The cooperation project Luther/Trubar (2017) placed Martin Luther in the context of the European Reformation and compared him with Primož Trubar, the Slovenian pedant. Eight phrases by Luther as well as poems by Trubar, provided a starting point for the musical explorations of composers Uroš Rojko, Vito Žuraj, Iris ter Schiphorst, Mark Andre, Detlef Heusinger, Peter Strahovnik and Luka Juhart, their works being a musical extension of the exhibition on Luther. Visitors had an opportunity to listen to Ensemble Experimental and SWR Experimentalstudio from Freiburg at four locations in the Ljubljana Castle.

The Exchange of Dramaturgs is another platform through which Oliver Frljić/Mladinsko Theatre collaborated with Gorki Theater in Berlin. The awarded performance collective She She Pop from Berlin opened the City of Women International Festival of Contemporary Arts in October 2019.
