Global Cultural Assembly 2025 – From declaration to action

80 Delegates from all over the world will gather at the Humboldt Forum and engage in dialogue about future collaboration and to contribute to the development of a Global Cultural Embassy (GCE).

A seven-member Reference Group is charged to work towards a long term, just and collaborative governance process concerning museum collections and cultural institutions.

At the same time, the Assembly will open itself to the interested public: through roundtable discussions, presentations, encounters, and a closing celebration as part of the Fête de la Musique.

The meeting builds on a major event: in September 2022, on the occasion of the opening of the permanent exhibitions of the Ethnological Museum and the Museum of Asian Art, Indigenous and international guests who had contributed to the development of the exhibitions in various roles came together.

This encounter led to the Declaration of Dignity, Transparency and Continuity.
