Mission

Information cultural centers, 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 globalized society.
Parnerships 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 labor 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 cofunding can be taken into account. The Goethe-Institute is not a commercial organizer nor a sponsor: financial contributions to projects that had been planned without the Goethe-institute participation are only under restricted conditions eligible.
The focus is not only on current topics, information, and contents but also on the lively, sustainable contacts. The aim is to bring people together and contribute to the formation of international networks. The topics of interest are contemporary cultural scene development as well as cultural heritage in and from Germany; Germany, Slovenia, and Europe - society, knowledge, history, cultural diversity and perspectives of the neighborhood; German as a foreign language in a Europe of multilingualism.
