Welcome to the Goethe-Institut Los Angeles. We connect people worldwide. As the cultural institute of the Federal Republic of Germany, we promote cultural exchange, education and social discourse in an international context and support the teaching and learning of German language. Together with our partners we look at global opportunities and challenges and bring different perspectives into a trustful dialogue. We see listening and reflection as keys to good communication. We are committed to the principles of openness, diversity and sustainability. These principles shape our offerings and operations.
