The Amerika Haus is once again establishing itself on the cultural and political landscapes of Germany’s capital city. Since September 2008 the ICD has been coordinating regular activity in the Amerika Haus that has helped to revive the tradition of the building as a centre for international dialogue and cultural exchange for the public in Berlin.
Over the past 6 months more than 10,000 people have attended one of the many events in this historic location. The events being held in the Amerika Haus include panel discussions, lectures, film screenings, artistic exhibitions, award ceremonies, community meetings, interactive seminars and workshops, and music and dance performances featuring high-profile figures from Germany and across the world. All events are open to the general public and free to attend.
Throughout Spring/Summer 2009 the ICD will be organizing a range of further events to help facilitate transatlantic, and international cultural exchange.Calendar 2009
