This includes, in particular, German colonial rule in what is now Namibia between 1884 and 1915, as well as the genocide of the Herero and Nama peoples between 1904 and 1908. The partnership between the cities aims to actively engage with history and shape a collaborative, future-orientated partnership. In recognition of the historical ties, the partnership serves as a bridge for cultural dialogue, municipal cooperation and learning from each other.

Over the past 25 years, the partnership has grown significantly: today it includes the areas of education, sustainable energy, climate resilience, business and culture. It goes well beyond official visits and operates directly in communities with specific projects.

While some events were organised directly by Kulturprojekte Berlin themselves, other items in the programme were organised in cooperation with various project partners. The anniversary week in Windhoek was curated and organised by the Namibian Institute for Democracy (NID) and the Creative Industry Institute Africa (CIIA).<\/p>\n<p>The anniversary week programme focuses on close cooperation with civil society and activist participants as well as with key organisations and institutions in both cities. Existing partnerships and established networks will be further strengthened and long-term cooperation deepened. The programme creates spaces for exchange, dialogue and cultural engagement in an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding. This means that networks are reinforced and new perspectives opened up through co-creation and shared resources. The aim is to give visibility to under-represented voices, to address difficult issues like colonial history and its repercussions, to share responsibility and to actively shape ties. During the planning phase, a comprehensive survey of existing partnerships and relevant topics relating to Windhoek and Namibia was carried out.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/block-accordion-item>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<block-accordion-item inline-template>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div ref=\"item\" data-id=\"HowistheGermancolonialperiodbetweenNamibiaandGermanyaddressedasatopicintheprogramme\" class=\"block-accordion-item vue-initialize\" aria-expanded=\"false\" :aria-expanded=\"active ?
