The ICBA-Who we are
The Instituto Cultural Boliviano-Alemán (ICBA) in Sucre is a non-profit cultural institution dedicated traditionally to the promotion of the German language (Deutsch als Fremdsprache - DaF) with the official recognition as “Institut mit Prüfungsberechtigung (ImP) “, Institute licensed for creditation, by the Goethe Institute, Muenchen. It puts emphasis on educational activities and cultural interchange to promote and strengthen friendship and understanding between the Bolivian and German people in particular, and between different cultures in general. Part of this work is to offer broad information about modern Germany.
The ICBA develops its activities within the scope of the Cultural Convention between the Republic of Bolivia and the Federal Republic of Germany, hence enjoys privileged treatment from the Bolivian authorities.
In the last decade, the ICBA has converted itself gradually into a centre of seminars and events for local, national and international institutions. Moreover, it is the national Training Center for the so called PASCH-Project (”Schools: Partner for the Future”), based on a initiative of the German government to promote the German language through already some 1000 schools worldwide.
The KulturCafé Berlin which is independently administered, offers a delicious menu of an integrated German-Bolivian cuisine and a variety of cakes/pies. Every Friday cultural events like “peñas foklóricas”, theatre shows etc. take place in the Café, in close cooperation with the Institute.
Everyone interested in ecological issues can visit our project Ecomuseum and take part in its activities. Friday evenings are open for people interested in ecology and environmental education within the framework of the “Viernes Ecológico”- meetings.
The guesthouse “ICBA-Wasi” is mainly frequented by persons who take part in the numerous activities of our Institute. Nonetheless, everybody is welcome.
Because of its good infrastructure and beauty, the Institute is a part of the architectural heritage of the Capital.
