The Cross Culture Exchange Programme 2024 is an excellent opportunity that is now open for applications. Through the CCP fellowship over 75 fellows from host organizations in Germany or one of the partner countries get experience in intercultural networks each year. The CCP will choose 60 professionals and devoted volunteers from up to 40 countries to spend 2 to 3 months in Germany.
In exchange, the host organizations gain from the CCP Fellows, experience, regional knowledge, and networks. Participants can also attend CCP-hosted transcultural workshops, networking events, and professional opportunities. Fellows then apply their newly acquired experience to their home organization after returning to their regular working lives.
