Friendships must be nurtured, and this is especially true of Franco-German relations. In these times of crisis, the “European spirit” so dear to Robert Schuman should matter to us more than ever.
French regions that are geographically distant from Germany are particularly in need of a new impetus. In South-West France, the number of pupils choosing German as a foreign language decreases every year.
With the closure of the Goethe-Institut in Bordeaux, the region is losing an important hub for Franco-German dialogue. Achtung Kultur! was founded with the ambition of championing the Franco-German partnership at a local level by bringing together all stakeholders.
OUR ROLE
- Bring together the players in the Franco-German sphere and coordinate their initiatives.
- Strengthen the network of stakeholders and raise the profile of their projects.
- Facilitate encounters between French and German people who share common interests, so as to forge new friendships in a convivial setting.
- Explore culture from every angle, in an accessible way, for a wide audience.
- Spark curiosity for German culture and language.
FOR WHOM? Whether you are an association looking for new synergies within a broad network, an expat keen to maintain ties with your home country, or a student in search of language exchanges, our association welcomes anyone with an interest in German culture and a desire to keep the Franco-German partnership alive.
