This summer, travelers and culture enthusiasts have more reasons to explore the vibrant cities of Berlin and New York, thanks to the new partnership between Norse Atlantic Airways and the Goethe-Institut New York. Dubbed the #NorseCulturalExchange, this initiative promises an enriching cultural dialogue across the Atlantic, directly connecting the creative communities of both metropolises.

The collaboration is part of Norse Atlantic Airways' commitment to promoting cultural exchange by supporting travel for artists and cultural events. The airline offers up to four direct weekly flights between Berlin and New York, making cultural exchange more accessible and frequent.

Key highlights of the #NorseCulturalExchange include the "Art & Weise" series, where artists like Raphaela Vogel and Tobias Zielony share their creative processes and insights, enhancing the cultural fabric of both cities. The "Helen und Kurt Wolff Prize" ceremony, a prestigious event scheduled for early October, will honor outstanding achievements in literary translation, bringing together authors and translators who bridge linguistic gaps.

Furthermore, the "festival neue literatur" showcases a rich tapestry of German-speaking literature, introducing New York audiences to contemporary narratives from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. This event not only enriches New York’s literary scene but also offers a platform for cultural exchange and mutual understanding.

Bjørn Tore Larsen, CEO of Norse Atlantic Airways, shares his vision for the partnership, stating, "By facilitating the travel of distinguished artists and cultural influencers, we aim to weave a tighter bond between Berlin and New York, enriching the cultural panorama of both cities."

The Goethe-Institut in New York, a pivotal cultural link since 1969, continues to introduce German culture and language across the Atlantic. With initiatives like the German Film Office and various educational programs, the institute fosters a deeper appreciation for German arts and thought in the U.S.
