The public diplomacy campaign “Deutschlandjahr” (Year of Germany) is coming! Starting in October 2018, Germany and its deep ties with the U.S. will be on display all around America. Help us celebrate by submitting ideas for projects that showcase our countries’ partnership in the areas of culture, education, science, and business. Proposals are due by January 20, 2018.

Deutschlandjahr is a comprehensive and collaborative public diplomacy campaign sponsored by the German Federal Foreign Office, the Federation of German Industries (BDI), and the Goethe Institut with the goal of presenting today’s Germany to people across the entire U.S. Together we will show how closely the two countries are linked by heritage, common values, and shared interests. Deutschlandjahr will illustrate how we can have a brighter future if we tackle global challenges together.

Have a great idea that should be part of Deutschlandjahr? It could be a German pop concert in Des Moines, a German engineering expo in Mobile, or another project that fosters dialogue and exchange. Perhaps you want to be a part of the traveling roadshow we are planning. We invite cultural, educational, and scientific institutions, business and trade associations, and all organizations currently engaged in transatlantic dialogue to submit their project proposals through our online application system by January 20, 2018.
