Global Cultural Assembly 2025: From Declaration to Action

From 16 to 21 June 2025, the Humboldt Forum will once again become an international hub for cultural exchange. The second Global Cultural Assembly will bring together around 80 delegates from around the world. Under the theme From Declaration to Action, participants will engage in workshops, presentations, and discussions focused on key questions around equitable partnerships, innovative practices in museums, and participation in the cultural sector. The aim is to generate momentum for transforming institutional structures toward a more just, participatory, and polyphonic future, while also establishing a lasting presence through the Global Cultural Embassy (GCE) at the Humboldt Forum. The week-long conference is organized in cooperation with the Stiftung Humboldt Forum im Berliner Schloss, as well as the Ethnologisches Museum and the Museum für Asiatische Kunst of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. The program will be accompanied by public events and participatory formats—open to all who wish to actively shape the global dialogue.
