Description
The Fellowship Program aims at fostering intercultural
exchange and interfaith understanding by engaging with young civil
society leaders and professionals from Europe, North-America (EUNA), the
Middle East and North-Africa (MENA). Framed around two-week exchange trips
between EUNA and MENA countries, the Program sends participants from each
geographic area to their counterparts’ region.
The Fellowship provides participants with first hand
exposure to diversity and with the opportunity to experience cultural immersion
while interacting with a wide range of local actors and partners. In every
country visited, participants are being provided with crucial comprehension
tools to help them understand the plurality of their surroundings, and to get
an extensive grasp of host countries’ culture, politics, society, religion,
media and more.
