Study in Germany. The new UNESCO Kulturweit Tandem Exchange Program invites people from African countries and Germany to explore the history of colonialism from different perspectives and to engage with our postcolonial present.
The programme is meant to allow the lucky scholar to develop projects in the fields of culture, education and sustainability that you can implement together in Germany.
In the Kulturweit Tandem project, two participants – one from an African country and one from Germany – reappraise the history of colonialism and its effects on the present. Together you develop anti-racism projects that you can implement in theatres, museums and schools, in charities, initiatives or companies in Germany.
