Introduction:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0CrossCulture Programme\u00a0(CCP) funds\u00a055 to 60<\/strong>\u00a0professionals and dedicated volunteers<\/strong>\u00a0from over\u00a040 countries<\/strong>\u00a0with its CCP Fellowships. Fellows spend two to three months working with host organisations in Germany or CCP partner countries to broaden their expertise, build valuable networks and further develop their intercultural skills. In return, the host organisations benefit from the expertise, regional knowledge and networks of the CCP Fellows.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0on-site Fellowships<\/strong>. Depending on individual circumstances and applicable travel regulations, Fellows may also opt for digital participation. The programme is subject to funding by the German Federal Foreign Office.<\/p>\n
