DAAD is partnering with the German Embassy and Consulates General to Canada, along with Goethe-Institut, to launch the So German! Si Allemand ! campaign. This initiative is designed to engage the next generation of transatlantic exchange between Canada and Germany. At the heart of this year-long project lie personal encounters, visits and collaborative projects that will provide a deeper understanding between these two nations. So German! Si Allemand ! will present a fresh and contemporary image of Germany in Canada. It will offer opportunities for exchanges between both countries by bundling the efforts of a variety of German and German-Canadian partners, all of which aim at fueling interest in Germany and all things German amongst Canadians.
