The "Weeks of the German Language"
The “Weeks of the German Language” is an annual festival organised by the Embassies of Austria, Germany, Switzerland and the Goethe-Institut Cyprus with kind the cooperation of the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth, boasting an array of activities and events related to the German language and the culture of each participating country.
German is in fact the most widely spoken mother tongue in Europe and the German speaking countries are known for their attractive job markets and study opportunities. By promoting the German language, we support multilingualism and diversity in Cyprus and contribute to the already flourishing cultural exchange between Cyprus, Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
The organisers
The “Weeks of the German Language” are jointly organised by the Embassies of Austria, Germany and Switzerland together with the Goethe-Institut Cyprus, who are committed to offering a diverse cultural programme reaching out to friends of the German language island wide. The festival would not be possible without the valuable collaboration of our supporters.
We believe that good foreign language skills are the stepping-stone to mutual understanding and enable to build trust, to promote dialogue and facilitate exchange and cooperation between individuals and cultures. The cultivation of one’s own language, as well as multilingualism are important to Europe.
