Goethe-Institut Thessaloniki

The Goethe-Institut is the cultural institute of the Federal Republic of Germany with a global reach. Goethe-Institut Thessaloniki, founded in 1955, is part of the global Goethe-network. We promote knowledge of the German language abroad, foster international cultural cooperation and convey a comprehensive image of Germany with 159 locations in 98 countries. Our cultural and educational programmes encourage intercultural dialogue and enable cultural involvement. They strengthen the development of structures in civil society and foster worldwide mobility. With our network of Goethe-Instituts, Goethe Centres, cultural societies, reading rooms and exam and language learning centres, we have been the first point of contact for many with Germany for over sixty years. Our long-lasting partnerships with leading institutions and individuals in over ninety countries create enduring trust in Germany. We are partners for all who actively engage with Germany and its culture, working independently and without political ties. The Goethe-Institut Thessaloniki attracts a public interested in culture and education and is located on Vasilissis Olgas Str. 66, close to the city centre.
