From now on, you can apply for the second round of our “Engage in dialogues“ programme.

Engaging in international dialogue, broadening perspectives, learning together – these are the goals of our “Engage in dialogues” programme. We support exchange formats that connect museum professionals from Germany with colleagues around the world. In doing so, we open spaces for critical reflection and diverse viewpoints helping museums develop their practice through dialogue and strengthen the work of German museums internationally.

We fund: 

• Workshops, working meetings, and training sessions on current issues in museum work that promote the exchange of knowledge and lay the groundwork for joint presentation and exhibition formats, as well as the international positioning of German museums
• On-site events in partner countries as well as digital or hybrid formats

The programme is directed at museums, exhibition venues, and memorial sites in Germany and abroad that wish to work with partner institutions worldwide to deepen their international engagement. At least one partner institution based in Germany and one partner institution abroad must be actively involved in the cooperation. Both new initiatives and the continuation of existing partnerships are welcome. Either partner may submit the application.
