Since 2005, the CrossCulture Programme (CCP) of ifa – Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations) has provided professionals and volunteers with the opportunity to develop intercultural skills through professional placements abroad and to foster sustainable cooperation within civil society. In 2027, ifa will once again offer fellowships to committed individuals from more than 40 partner countries.

The programme is aimed at civil society actors working in the fields of politics and society, human rights and peace, media and culture, as well as sustainable development and climate justice. In 2027, a special focus will be placed on the overarching theme of Democratic Resilience.

The application period for the CrossCulture Programme Fellowships 2027 runs from 30 October to 8 December 2026. Applications can only be submitted via the online application portal: CCP Fellowship Calls (ifa.de) www.ifa.de
