Media - Mediators Between Nations
Fellowship Program for Journalists from Central and Eastern Europe and from Germany, Austria and Switzerland
In cooperation with the Berliner Journalisten-Schule, the Robert Bosch Stiftung organizes a three-month fellowship program for journalists in spring.
On the one hand, it is aimed at journalists from Central and Eastern Europe, whose program includes a one-month stay at the Berliner Journalisten-Schule, followed by an internship in an editorial department in Berlin.
The training imparts profound knowledge of Germany, its bilateral relations and of the European Union before the fellows - depending on their interests and qualifications - complete a two-month internship in the editorial department of a renowned publisher, radio or television station.
Meetings and interviews with representatives from politics and social affairs are also scheduled during their stay in the German capital.
Journalists from Armenia, Aserbaidschan, Belarus, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Ukraine or Hungary, who already gained perennial work experience, may apply.
Good German language skills, both spoken and written, are required.
Period: March 3 – May 31, 2012
By the same token, German speaking, professionally experienced journalists from Germany, Austria and Switzerland can spend three months working in editorial departments in Central and Eastern Europe.
Before starting out on the program, fellows attend a two-day introductory seminar in Berlin which provides information about current political, economic and cultural issues as well as the media landscape in their host country.
Applicants should have at least an elementary knowledge of the national languages in Armenia, Bulgaria, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Ukraine or Hungary.
It is possible to participate in a language course in advance.
Period: April 1 – June 30, 2012
All fellows learn about the daily work routines of their colleagues in a foreign country and produce reports for their host editorial department. Mentors support them in the host editorial departments individually. In Central and Eastern Europe they are generally supported by a colleague who has already been a Robert Bosch Stiftung fellow and worked in a German editorial department.
Journalists, in their role as "temporary foreign correspondents" should report to their home country editorial departments during their stay abroad.
The experiences and contacts gained during the program are to help participants report about the host country and current developments in the new European Union member states competently after their return.
The deadline for applications for all fellowships in Germany and Central and Eastern Europe is November 01 every year.
