Applications are open for the |JP George Weidenfeld Bursary 2025 for Journalists. The German-British Programme of the IP was founded in 1995. It is of particular importance given the sometimes bizarre portrayals of the relationship between Germany and the UK in the media. Brexit has intensified this phenomenon and thus made a journalistic exchange between Great Britain and Germany even more important.
Opportunity Details
Every year, the bursary enables British and German journalists to spend time working in each other's countries. Bursary holders work in British or German editorial offices of their choice and at the same time report for their home media. This way, the participants get to know the working methods of the media in the host country and gain a direct impression of politics, economy, culture and society in Germany or the United Kingdom.
The programme was founded in 1995. Since 2000, the programme has borne the name of the British publisher and publicist Lord George Weidenfeld (1919-2016). It is under the patronage of the respective ambassadors in Berlin and London.
