The Goethe-Zentrum functions as a unit of the Coimbatore Indo-German Cultural Association founded by the G D Group, Coimbatore. The mission of the association is to bring about a cultural understanding between the people of the two countries through a host of programmes in the fields of music, literature, theater and other art forms, in addition to the language. Our activities range from screenings, theater performances and concerts to workshops on many innovative topics that would bring about a cultural awareness. Since we keep abreast of cultural and artistic trends in Germany, we are able to provide the latest information about Germany.
