Imagine Americans learning the German language, going to Germany and returning with a suitcase of experiences and new friends.  

Imagine their German teachers receiving hundreds of hours of professional development to enrich their professional craft as much as their own personality.  

Imagine creative industries professionals from Germany coming to Atlanta, only to discover the dynamic, future-driven, collaborative, and entrepreneurial nature of the art and culture scene of Atlanta … and building long-lasting creative relationships with the people of Atlanta and the Southeast.  

Imagine a hub where topics of the German past connect with the present.  

Imagine the establishing of new European or German cultural institutions within the international fabric of Atlanta – with the annual European Film Festival of Atlanta, co-managed by Goethe, or the annual Come Togäther Week of the German-speaking countries in Atlanta.  

Imagine being only one of three recognized German-French Kultur Ensembles worldwide. 

Imagine!  

NONE of this would happen without YOU.
