Call for Applications: CrossCulture Program Fellowships 2024

About

Through the CCP Fellowships, the CrossCulture Programme (CCP) funds professionals and dedicated volunteers from more than 40 countries each year. During two to three months of work-related stays in host organizations in Germany or CCP partner countries, participants deepen their expertise, make new contacts, and develop intercultural skills.

In turn, the host organisations benefit from the expertise, regional knowledge and networks of the CCP Fellows. Participants can also attend transcultural workshops, networking and professional events hosted by the CCP. After returning to their daily working lives, participants then bring the experience they have gained into their home organisation.

In 2024, fellowships will be offered as digital as well as on-site fellowships. Subject to funding by the German Federal Foreign Office and based on their personal situation and COVID-19 entry requirements, participants may decide on one of these two options.
