The German-Israeli Journalism Programme offers a unique opportunity for young journalists from the Middle East to engage in professional exchange and gain firsthand experience of media and society in Germany.
The fellowship aims to foster intensive dialogue between media outlets in regions affected by conflict while encouraging exchange between journalists from Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, Israel, and Germany, promoting early-career understanding of political and social issues in Germany, strengthening awareness of relations between Germany and the Middle East, providing insight into culture, mentality, and everyday life in Germany and the European Union, and building long-term professional networks among journalists.
The programme enables up to five journalists from the Middle East to undertake a two-month travel and work stay in Germany, while also offering German journalists the opportunity to spend two months in the Middle East. It is organized in cooperation with governmental institutions, foundations, and sponsors across Germany and the Middle East. The fellowship begins with an introductory conference in Berlin at the end of October, followed by a two-week intensive German language course for Middle Eastern participants. Fellows then proceed to a two-month placement with a German media organization, where they gain practical exposure and connect with professionals in the field.
The fellowship provides a one-time grant of 5,000 euros, which includes a stipend and a travel allowance of 1,000 euros. This funding is intended to cover a significant portion of travel, accommodation, and living expenses, although participants are expected to contribute partially. There is no additional remuneration for journalistic work undertaken during the programme.
Eligibility is open to citizens of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories, and Israel between the ages of 21 and 37 who are working as regular employees, trainees, or journalists with established media outlets. Applicants must demonstrate strong proficiency in English, while knowledge of German is considered an advantage but is not mandatory.
