Thank you for being here –
supporting us and our worldclass language program, immersive cultural programs, and being a member of our community.
We are approaching our 50th anniversary in 2026!
Here are a few things we look forward to creating with you:
Our students asked and we are listening – our German Language Program is adjusting the schedule of classes to make it more appealing and more practical to a broader audience of language learners. Our instructors’ professional development and our next gen classroom technology provide the best learning experience in person and remotely.
As the nation’s only Kultur Ensemble, Franco-German Cultural Center, we are a central space for the German-speaking community (and the French-speaking one, too) and an important partner in the transatlantic relationships of the region. We host events, discussions, and educational programs during this time of renewed focus on the Europe-USA connections.
Our Culture Programming will invite to valuable immersion opportunities into German culture, traditions, language and modern lifestyle:
- European Film Festival in Atlanta (EFFA) in collaboration with many consulates of European countries in Atlanta
- Discover Germany
- Kinoabend and CineKino together with the Alliance Francaise
- Come Togäther - Week of the German-speaking Countries in Atlanta together with consulates representing the German-speaking countries in Atlanta and economic development agencies
- outreach programs such as German Immersion Days at local high schools
- and lots of soccer-themed fun
Your generous support is the driving force behind all these meaningful experiences and events.
You ensure our high-quality program.
You help us bring emphasis on German Heritage and community-building in the Southeast to life.
Your donation is absolutely essential. With less than 10% of our annual budget covered by grants, we rely on your generosity, your support, and your patronage to continue to follow our mission.
With gratitude for your continued support,
We thank you in the name of the Board, our staff, and all those who make the Goethe-Zentrum a part of their lives!
