Call & Application

Who can apply?

Journalists:

• who urgently need some time out. This could be the case for example if they work in a war zone or crisis area, or if they recently reported on a particularly sensitive topic and are now being threatened or harassed.
• who need time to focus on a new journalistic project that they would work on during the scholarship period.

Requirements

Participants should have a good command of English or German. You should also have adequate work experience as a journalist. In addition, you should have the firm intention to return to your country of origin after the six-month scholarship period.
