The Year of Germany, which carries the motto "Germany and India 2011-2012: Infinite Opportunities", will help reinforce and expand the ties that exist between the two countries. With a focus on 'StadtRäume – CitySpaces', the theme of the event establishes a direct link to the implications of rapid urbanization and change in India.
Germany, the "Land of Ideas", will present itself as an innovative and creative partner, a country that will join hands with India in addressing future issues and target India's urban, education oriented and English-speaking younger generations. The centrepiece of the project is a mobile unit that will tour the country, taking in seven Indian mega cities (Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Delhi). The unit will be installed for a period of approximately ten days in each city.
