Herbert Quandt Scholarship 2011
Herbert Quandt Foundation is offering six scholarships to young journalists from Israel/Palestine for its ‘Trialogue of Cultures’ programme for 2012. The scholarship’s focus is on the exchange of young German, Israeli and Palestinian journalists who share the interest in a trilateral dialogue, who want to know more about Germany and also want to get work experience in a German media context.I'lam Media Center, as a partner in this programme, will assist in selecting two young Palestinian citizens of Israel to partake in this six person scholarship programme.Details and Timeframe of Scholarship:
1) The scholarship in Germany will start 1 July 2012 and end 31 December 2012.
2) On 1 July, a three month intensive German language course including excursions will start at the University of Bayreuth. We expect a high commitment to learn the German language.
3) From October until December, a three-months-internship will be organised at a German media company such as Deutsche Welle Arabic and English Programme (Radio and TV), Frankfurter Rundschau, DIE WELT, dpa, Deutschland Magazine, Al Jazeera etc. The Herbert Quandt-Foundation team will visit the fellows during this time. The work load is five days/40 hours a week. No holidays are included in this programme as this is a professional further education.
