Goethe-Institut's Upcoming Plans for 2026
For more than six decades, Goethe Institut in Indonesia has actively fostered understanding of German culture and language across Indonesia.
At the heart of Goethe-Institut’s work is the concept of a “third space”, a safe and open environment where diverse perspectives can meet. The institute’s premises have long functioned as a home for artistic experimentation and exchange, supporting both traditional and contemporary expressions within Indonesia’s cultural landscape.
“Artists, educators, and institutions from both countries now work together in formats that reflect contemporary themes and global developments,” notes Director Michel, who believes cultural exchange is increasingly moving toward co-creation rather than one-way presentation.
The growing demand for German language learning and the active involvement of Indonesian partners signals that the interests in arts, education, and the creative industries remain strong drivers of this cross-cultural relationship.
Recognising the importance of accessibility, the institute is also strengthening hybrid formats and digital platforms, ensuring that audiences across Indonesia, not just in major cities, can participate.
