The CrossCulture Program (CCP) Fellowships awards between 55 and 60 fellowships to professionals and volunteers from over 40 countries for transnational cooperation between professionals or institutions from the fields of culture, education, science, art and media. The fellows spend two to three months working with host organizations in Germany or in CCP partner countries. In doing so, they expand their specialist knowledge, make valuable contacts and deepen their transcultural skills. The host organizations, in turn, benefit from the scholarship holders’ expertise, regional knowledge and networks.
Participants also have the opportunity to take part in transcultural workshops, networking and specialist events organized by the CCP. On their return, the experience they have gained abroad is incorporated into their work in their home organization.
The CCP Fellowships 2026 are offered as face-to-face fellowships . Depending on their personal situation and current entry regulations, fellows can also participate in the program digitally. The program is subject to funding by the Federal Foreign Office.
Application deadline: December 10, 2025
