Each year around 55 Fellowship recipients from host organisations in Germany or in one of the over 40 partner countries gain experience in intercultural networks. Through these international fellowships, the programme promotes cooperation between people working in the cultural, education, human rights, sustainability, science, and media sectors. The goal of the CrossCulture Programme is to strengthen lasting civil society networks between Germany and countries across the globe. The programme was launched in 2005 and now counts more than 1.100 alums to its ever-growing network.
