About CCP Fellowship

The CrossCulture Programme (CCP) provides yearly funding to professionals and dedicated volunteers from over 40 countries through the CCP Fellowships. Participants improve their knowledge, make new relationships, and develop intercultural skills over two to three months of work-related stays in host organisations in Germany or CCP partner countries. The CCP Fellows' networks, experience, and local knowledge are thus advantageous to the host organisations. Additionally, participants can go to professional events, networking opportunities, and transcultural training organised by the CCP. Participants take the experience they have obtained back to their home organisation after returning to their regular work lives.

CCP Fellowships are principally awarded to people working in one of the following fields:

- Policy and society

- Media and culture

- Human rights and peace

- Sustainable development and climate justice
