Germany – Zambia Exchange Programme: Christopher’s experience

How can museums as places of cultural history remain relevant for the people in the 21st century? What role does museum education play in the preservation of (intangible) cultural heritage?

Before I come back to these questions, I would like to give a short insight in my 21-day stay as a Guest Researcher at the  Exchange Programme between Zambia and Germany.

I would like to thank all the people involved who made this year’s Exchange Programme happen; especially thanks to the team of the Livingstone Museum who put together an extraordinary programme with deep insights in the museum tasks in Livingstone. 

I was not just warmly welcomed at all activities and by all members of the Museum, but also integrated in all planned Museum activities during my stay.
