The Goethe-Institut Ljubljana (GI Ljubljana) established in 2004 is an official cultural institute of the Federal Republic of Germany in Slovenia, a part of the globally operating Goethe-Institut network. Its aim is to encourage international and cultural exchange and understanding as well as to foster German as a foreign language outside Germany.
Goethe-Institut Ljubljana has expanded the programme activities of the former German Reading Room, which was founded in 1995 at the premises of the Central Technological Library, University of Ljubljana. Today it is called German Library and offers a rich variety of Contemporary German-language literature for free.
The Institute's programme consists of exhibitions, readings and talks with German speaking authors, concerts and workshops with artists from Germany, with an aim of linking German and Slovenian cultural scenes. The fundamental method of the Goethe-Institute is intercultural dialogue based on partnership.
In the field of educations the institute organises German exams and issues internationally accepted language certificates. In cooperation with Slovene ministries and schools the institute runs in-service training for teachers of German language. The elementary school in Beltinci has become the Slovenian PASCH-School (PASCH or Schulen:Parner der Zukunft being a German educational Excellenz-Initiative).
