About ifa CrossCulture Programme

The CrossCulture Programme (CCP) funds 50 to 60 professionals and volunteers from over 40 countries yearly with its CCP Fellowships. Fellows spend two to three months working with host organisations in Germany or CCP partner countries to broaden their expertise, build valuable networks and further develop their transcultural skills. In return, the host organisations benefit from the expertise, regional knowledge and networks of the CCP Fellows. 

Participants have the opportunity to take part in transcultural workshops, networking events and professional meetings organised by the CCP. The experience gained abroad will be integrated into the work of the Fellows’ home organisations upon their return.

The CCP Fellowships for 2027 will be offered as on-site Fellowships. Depending on individual circumstances and applicable travel regulations, Fellows may also opt for digital participation. The programme is subject to funding by the German Federal Foreign Office.
