Apply now for the ifa CrossCulture Programme (CCP) Fellowship 2024. The CCP Fellowships, the CrossCulture Programme (CCP) funds professionals and committed volunteers from more than 40 countries each year.
For the first two to three months of work-related stays in host organizations in Germany or CCP partner countries, participants will deepen their expertise, establish new contacts, and acquire intercultural skills.
The host organizations will benefit from the expertise, regional knowledge, and networks of the CCP Fellows.
