Mission Statement
The Goethe-Institut is the cultural institute of the Federal Republic of Germany with a global reach.
We promote knowledge of the German language abroad and foster international cultural cooperation. The Goethe-Institut Los Angeles operates on a partnership basis.
For individual projects, as for longer-term joint ventures, we connect with stakeholders in the cultural scene - institutions, organizations, companies, people in and from Southern California and Arizona, Germany, and other countries (in particular our European neighbors).
Often a project involves several partners working together. The Goethe-Institut organizes its programs proactively, on a long-term, sustainable basis.
It is of special importance to us to jointly develop ideas and create the dialogue between the stakeholder from the outset.
Our facilities and services:
Our Media Lounge serves as a resource for those interested in contemporary Germany, and for those interested in teaching and studying German as a foreign language. An extensive collection of German videos and DVD's, books, magazines, periodicals and A/V media titles are available for loan.
We have a screening room/auditorium (120 seats) in which we hold our events. The screening room is also available for rent.
