Young university graduates with strong political and social convictions from South Africa (Botswana, Namibia, South Africa), East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda), and West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal) are cordially invited to the German Bundestag's scholarship programme in Berlin in January.
A scholarship programme for young, intelligent, politically engaged African university graduates who are engaged in German parliamentary politics and actively support fundamental democratic ideals in their native countries has been offered by the German Bundestag since 2020.
Up to 24 scholarship winners will get a close-up look at the German legislative system and political decision-making procedures in the German Bundestag during a four-week compressed programme.
The program
The core of the program is a one-week internship in the office of a member of the German Bundestag.
For this purpose, knowledge about parliamentary democracy as well as the workings and function of parliament is conveyed in a compact preparation. In addition, the topics of plural society, protection of minorities and culture of remembrance are addressed as a political mandate. A series of workshops will take place on a variety of topics, including corruption and intercultural training. A workshop on project management is intended to help you develop your own project ideas with the aim of promoting democracy and civil society in the respective countries of origin.
