- Capacity Development
- Consulting and Networking
- Cooperation with Civil Society
- Creation of Cultural Spaces, Cultural Preservation and Infrastructure
The projects within these spheres are planned for the long term and initiated, designed and realized together with partners from the arts and media, education, academics and business from the host countries and from Germany. We meet together under the premise that, in the cultural sector in particular, intercultural dialogue on equal footing is a learning, thinking and production process from which both sides benefit. The initiative’s programmes – from advanced training for cultural managers to consulting for the establishment of a platform for museum educational services – contribute to the creation of networks that enable dialogue and cooperation between people in the cultural sectors of neighbouring countries or regions.
Artistic productions, cultural events such as festivals and exhibitions that the participants in the educational programmes develop and realize are conceptually supervised and, depending on pertinence and possibilities, integrated in the cultural programming or library and information work of the Goethe-Institut. For example, following the Cultural Management in Africa advanced training course, the fashion show Renaissance Fashion was conceived by cultural manager Alemayehu Seife-Selassie and realized in Addis Ababa and in Munich.
