Deutsche Gesellschaft e.V. - gemeinnütziger Verein zur Förderung politischer, kultureller und sozialer Beziehungen in Europa
Founded in 1990 by well known people such as Willy Brandt and Johannes Rau the Deutsche Gesellschaft e.V. is one of the most active non-governmental organisation in the field of policy and culture in Germany. Among others the incumbent chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Dr. Angela Merkel, is a member of the Deutsche Gesellschaft e.V.. All in all our association implements more than 250 projects in up to 15 different states per year, ranging from public debates and discussions, seminars, conferences to educational trips and exchange programs.
The work of the non-profit organisation is subdivided into three parts:
Policy & Society, Culture & History and EU & Europe (included the European Information Centre in Berlin).
The European Information Centre (EIZ) founded in 1995 on behalf of the European Commission and the Senate of Berlin, provides information about the EU at the Service Point at the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. Since 2005 the EIZ is part of the EUROPE DIRECT – Information Network. It promotes the European idea by organizing workshops, seminars and exhibitions worldwide.

CULTURAL AMBASSADOR
"Go for it!“
On the ground of our music, we get around and travel a lot. Especially the oversea gigs are of particular interest. Thanks to our diverse knowledge of foreign languages, it is possible to dive deeply into the particular culture and to come in contact with locals. Foreign language competence is an important requirement to discover another culture – some of us had worked for some time in different countries. Jump at the chance and participate at avanti! Go and provide yourself with your prospects to stay abroad!
Seeed.
