Building up on the traditionally harmonious relationship between
Afghanistan and Germany, the Goethe Institute contributes to the
sustainable reconstruction of Afghan culture and supports/promotes
cultural exchange between the two countries.
Mediothek afghanistan promotes peace building in five provinces of Afghanistan and is dedicated to rebuilding the fabric of Afghan society destroyed by decades of war. Mediothek’s projects are based on the premises that peace and democracy are complex cultural processes that do not end with elections and peace accords. A functioning civil society plays a crucial role in the process of consolidating peace, therefore Mediothek seeks to strengthen civil society by its projects. The Arabic word "qantara" means "bridge". The Internet portal Qantara.de represents the concerted effort of the Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung (Federal Center for Political Education), Deutsche Welle, the Goethe Institut and the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations) to promote dialogue with the Islamic world.
