With this programme, ifa encourages lasting networks between organisations and alumni of CCP Fellowships. CCP Alumni supports the professional development of former fellows and intensifies existing collaboration and networking by supplying mobility funds and organising regular alumni meetings. The programme enables alumni of CCP Fellowships to participate in conferences and to implement smaller cooperations and short exploratory visits. In addition, CCP appoints volunteer country representatives who act as contact persons in the respective countries in cooperation with alumni, interested parties, the German Embassy and ifa. Together with the CCP, the country representatives organise annual networking meetings on regional and technical topics.
Twenty years ago, in 2005, the CrossCulture Programme was founded with a powerful vision: to build bridges across cultures and strengthen civil society networks. With over 1,100 alums from across the globe, a vibrant and diverse community has emerged, united by a shared commitment to create positive change. The programme would not have become what it is without the contributions of our community. ifa and the CCP team would like to thank everyone who has been part of this journey and contributed to its development over the past two decades.
The call for proposals for the mobility funding as well as invitations to the professional events and networking meetings are conducted internally by the CCP. Alumni will be informed by email and are then welcome to apply and register by email crossculture(at)ifa.de if interested.
