Deutschförderung durch Fachverbände

Associations represent the interests of their members and formulate binding and longer-term goals and guidelines for this purpose. As non-profit organisations (NPOs), they do not make any economic profit, but rather use the incoming financial resources exclusively for the realisation of their association's goals. The objectives can be many and varied; in the case of the International German Teachers' Association, the first objective of the association is to spread the German language and culture worldwide within the framework of a meaningful multilingualism policy. Further objectives are to professionalise the association and raise awareness of an appropriate language policy, to network members in projects and to provide further training for German teachers.
