Deadline– June 30, 2013
Middle East applicants are invited to apply for fellowship program offered by International Journalists’ Programmes (IJP) in Germany. This program is supported by governmental institutions, foundations and sponsors in Germany and the Middle East. The purpose of this fellowship is to enable young journalists to familiarize themselves with the political issues in Germany at an early stage of their career.
This program will raise awareness of aspects of relations between Germany and the Middle Eastern region in future multipliers and will give them a personal insight into mentality, culture and everyday life in Germany and the European Union.
The two work fellowships each for journalists from Germany and Israel are named in honour of the journalist Ernst Cramer and the former mayor of Jerusalem Teddy Kollek and their exemplary dedication to the intensification of German-Israeli relations.
Eligibility & Criteria-
Young journalists from the Middle East, especially from Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel and Palestine are invited to apply for this fellowship.
Documents required-
The application must be accompanied by a passport photo, a detailed curriculum vitae, and a journalistic appraisal written by the head of department or editor-in-chief. The latter should support the application, guarantee temporary leave of absence for the duration of the fellowship, and serve as evidence of journalistic activity. Samples of work may be enclosed. A very good knowledge of English is expected. While a knowledge of German will naturally be welcomed, this is not an essential requirement for an application. Visa arrangements will be made with the help of the organizers.
