Ifa is calling for applications from culture professionals from over  40 countries for their CrossCulture Programme Fellowship, during which fellows will spend 2–3 months working with host organisations in Germany or CCP partner countries to broaden their expertise, build valuable networks and further develop their intercultural skills.

Participants have the opportunity to take part in cross-cultural workshops, networking events and professional meetings organised by the CCP. The experience gained abroad will be integrated into the work of the Fellows' home organisations upon their return.

The CCP Fellowships for 2025 will be offered as on-site Fellowships. Depending on individual circumstances and applicable travel regulations, Fellows may also opt for digital participation, subject to funding by the Federal Foreign Office.

Eligibility 

Fellowships are principally awarded to people working in the subjects and professional fields or Policy and Society, Media and Culture, Human Rights and Peace, and Sustainable Development and Climate Justice. In 2025, the programme will also focus on the key issues of Gender and Diversity and Culture of Remembrance.
