The CrossCulture Program (CCP) Fellowships offer 55 to 60 scholarships to professionals and volunteers from over 40 countries. Recipients spend two to three months working with host organizations in Germany or CCP partner countries, allowing them to enhance their expertise, build valuable connections, and develop intercultural skills. Host organizations benefit from the fellows' specialized knowledge, regional insights, and networks.

Participants also engage in transcultural workshops, networking, and specialized events organized by the CCP. Upon returning home, they apply the knowledge and experience gained to their work in their local organizations.

For 2025, the CCP Fellowships will be offered as in-person scholarships, though participants can opt for a digital format based on personal circumstances and entry regulations. The program is contingent on funding from the Federal Foreign Office.
