Federal President Horst Köhler Fellowship


Summary

Once a year, journalists from Southern Africa and Germany have the opportunity to work exchange at a media outlet of their choice, producing content for their home newsroom. The objective of the exchange programme is to highlight issues in Southern Africa while giving journalists from the region a platform in German media.


The Southern African-German Journalists’ Programme is a multiyear effort to foster a deeper understanding between Germany and Africa as a whole. It has been offered in response to concerns about an increasing political and cultural detachment between Africa and Europe. The bursary is intended to enable young journalists to gain valuable insights into the host country's political, economic, cultural and social fabric.

Benefit

  • 3,500 Euro to cover most of their travel, accommodation and living expenses.


Eligibility

  • All journalists from Southern Africa (SADC Member States and Kenya) between the age of 25 and 40 who regularly work for a media organization can apply.

  • Above-average English language skills are required.

  • Interested candidates are asked to submit their documents in digital form only between 27 November and 1 March.


Deadline February 15, 2025
