N.C. Zeitgeist Foundation

The mission of The N.C. Zeitgeist Foundation is to inform, educate and foster dialogue about the influence in North Carolina of the current and historic culture, arts, society and spirit of Germany, in recognition of the significant and long-standing German-American bilateral relationship in our region. This mission can best be achieved through (i) the appreciation of German arts, (ii) the exchange of societal and governmental thought and theory, (iii) the celebration of German influence on culture and life in North Carolina, and (iv) the development of emerging leaders in these areas in both countries. Zeitgeist means "the spirit of the age," and in carrying out its mission, the Foundation seeks to build even stronger relationships between Germany and North Carolina.
