Our team worked since 2007 on behalf of the State of Berlin to design cultural programmes marking major anniversaries in Berlin\u2019s many official international sister-city partnerships. Whether the focus was on music, fashion, film, art or history, each different format and genre inspired participants to embark on a journey of cultural discovery and forge even greater links to citizens in their sister cities. At the same time, the projects and gatherings served to foster and strengthen transnational exchange among cultural and creative professionals in Berlin and its partner cities. Among the events were a joint exhibition and \u201cBerlin Festival in Istanbul\u201d, a series of fashion and dance workshops in Warsaw designed to foster exchange among German and Polish youth, an exhibition focusing on the \u201cHistory of Moscow in Photographs\u201d set up on Berlin\u2019s Unter den Linden Boulevard and a joint design and fashion exhibition in Paris and Berlin. Each one of these events conveyed the diversity and vibrancy of the relationship between the German capital and its international partner cities. We are planning a programme for the 25th anniversary of the Berlin-Windhoek sister-city partnership in autumn 2025.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

The multifaceted cultural, economic and political ties between Berlin and Wroc\u0142aw (Breslau) date back to the 18th century. Especially since the fall of the Iron Curtain, these connections have enabled the significant strengthening of a positive relationship between the two neighbouring cities. The special project we co-coordinated shed a spotlight on this alliance in the realm of culture. Exhibitions, dance festivals, music festivals, concerts, films, youth camps and club nights provided a myriad of opportunities for exchange and dialogue. One of the most unique and long-lasting elements of the project is the \u201cCulture Train\u201d that currently travels between the two European metropolises of Berlin and Wroc\u0142aw for its tenth season.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Berlin has long since become a hotspot for creative individuals from all over the world. This trend applies to the start-up scene, with its innovative products and business ideas, just as much as to the city\u2019s cultural landscape, with its enormous diversity ranging from mainstream to niche. \u201cPop into Berlin\u201d was an initiative we co-organised with visitBerlin and beBerlin that transported Berlin\u2019s creative energy to three European cities. From October to December 2016, a pop-up store and a pop-up club were set up in Warsaw, Madrid and Z\u00fcrich for two weeks each.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
