Young journalists from Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel and Palestine can apply for this fellowship.

The International Journalists’ Programmes seeks five journalists ages 21 and 37 for a two-month fellowship in Germany.

The fellowship aims to enable young journalists to familiarize themselves with the political issues in Germany. Fellows are expected to contribute a certain amount of funds in addition to the EU€4,000 (US$5,216) that the fellowship provides for each fellow.

The fellowship begins late October 2013 with an introductory event in Berlin together with the German fellows. This is followed by a fellowship lasting at least two months in a German media outlet (newspaper, radio, TV, magazine.) Proficiency in spoken and written English is expected.

Candidates must submit their application forms, a passport photo, a detailed CV and a journalistic appraisal written by the head of department or editor-in-chief.

The deadline is June 30.
