Web Editor and Technician for Goethe.de South Africa

The Goethe-Institut e.V. is the worldwide operating cultural institute of the Federal
Republic of Germany. We promote the knowledge of the German language abroad and
cultivate international cultural cooperation. Furthermore we wish to convey a broad
and up-to-date image of Germany by informing about cultural, social and political life
in Germany.

Starting in 2012 the Goethe-Institut seeks to develop towards a more internetoriented organisation. The Goethe-Institut South Africa therefore plans to expand its
homepage to an intercultural platform of encounter. The resources available will be
invested in comprehensive, long-lasting web-products which display interactivity,
multi-mediality and a balanced presentation of perspectives both from South Africa
and Germany.
For the conception and realisation of the intercultural encounter platform the
