German course scholarships for cultural actors and professionals

The Goethe-Institut Finnland offers yearly a scholarship for German courses at Goethe-Institutes in Germany for cultural actors and professionals working in Finland. If you already have some German skills and work in the field of culture, as a producer, artist, or curator this could be for you.

While you work on your German in a group language course, you will also have enough time to meet colleagues from the German cultural field and to get a taste of the local scene. In the last years, all sorts of follow-up projects and transnational cooperations have developed.

The scholarship includes

• a max. 10 days German intensive course in the Goethe-Institut in Berlin or in Munich
• accommodation organised by the Goethe-Institut
• max. 200 € support for travel expenses

Application

Your application should include:

• Letter of motivation (max. 1 page) in German in which you report on your work, your specific interest in the exchange with the German scene, knowledge of German and possible former stays in Germany
• Curriculum Vitae in Finnish, English, Swedish or German with information about yourself and a contact address
• Choose two alternative courses from "Intensive German Concise“ offered by the Goethe-Institut at one or two of your favourite locations (Level A2 - C2, please note: no beginner courses)

Before the final course selection, an online language test will be taken.

Please send your application with the subject line "Kulturmittlerstipendium 2024“ to kultur-helsinki@goethe.de. Application deadline is November 25, 2024. Applicants will be informed during the week 50.
