The United Nations Alliance Of Civilizations is now selecting emerging leaders and young professionals from the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and North America to participate in the 2015 edition of the Fellowship Programme.
With the objective of fostering intercultural dialogue and interfaith understanding, the Fellowship offers its participants a first hand exposure to diversity and the opportunity to experience cultural immersion while interacting with a wide range of actors and partners.
Participants from Europe and North America (EUNA) and from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) will travel for two weeks to their counterparts’ region where they will acquire crucial knowledge and experience to understand their host countries’ culture, society and diversity.

Ten to twelve participants from Europe, North America on one end, and from the Middle East

and North Africa on the other end, will travel for two weeks to their counterparts’ region. During their trip, participants will interact with actors from various backgrounds in order to get an extensive grasp of their host country’s culture, politics, society, religion, media and more.

The goal of this two-week trip is to enable participants to position themselves as informed stakeholders and to develop partnerships between both regions while reinforcing positive exchanges and cooperation.

At the end of their trip, participants will have to write a collective report on Migration and Integration, assessing the situation, identifying key actors and challenges, and proposing an action plan to improve intercultural collaboration in the field of Migration and Integration.
