The Goethe-Institut is a global cultural institute established by the Federal Republic of Germany that aims to promote cross-cultural exchange, education, and social dialogue. The institute also seeks to facilitate the teaching and learning of the German language in an international context. Since its inception over seventy years ago, the Goethe-Institut has played a vital role in fostering global cultural exchange, promoting the dissemination of German language, and facilitating the free development of science and culture.
