The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin is calling for applications from museum professionals from African and European countries for TheMuseumsLab 2025 programme, a platform for joint learning, perspective exchange, networking and career building among African and European professionals.
In 2025, the overarching theme of the programme is ‘Colonialism and Resistance’. During the programme participants will visit historical places relevant to the topic in Germany and Ethiopia. They will look at ways of implementing spaces of resistance in exhibition practices as well as exploring approaches on how to deal with the legacy of colonialism in museums today.

The programme consists of three seminar modules (online and onsite in Berlin 16 – 21 June 2025 and Addis Ababa 22 – 27 September 2025) lead by prominent African and European experts and a one-week residency at a renowned African or European partner institution.
African and European Museum professionals who have at least two years’ experience working in the museum, heritage, or art sector and a relation to the overarching theme of the programme can apply.
