Call for Applications: Fellowship Programme 2022

25/05/2022

The United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) is now accepting applications for the 2022 edition of its flagship Fellowship programme, an immersive intercultural exchange platform for accomplished young leaders and professionals from Europe, North America (EUNA), the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Organized around two-week exchange trips between EUNA and MENA countries, the UNAOC Fellowship sends participants to different countries of the two regions, aiming to challenge perceptions and deconstruct stereotypes. Throughout their journey, UNAOC Fellows interact with a wide range of local stakeholders. Together, they explore opportunities for intercultural collaboration and exchange ideas and good practices on how to address current global challenges.

 

The Call is open to participants between 25 to 35 years old,  with a strong interest in intercultural exchanges and intercultural cooperation to challenge and deconstruct hate speech and stereotypes.

The theme of the Fellowship 2022 is “Countering discrimination and racism: the nexus to building pluralistic and diverse societies”

To be selected, candidates must be able to present professional achievements related to the theme. The Call will lead to the selection of a group of 8 young leaders from Europe, North-America (EUNA) and a group of 8 young leaders from the Middle East and North-Africa (MENA) who will travel together to selected countries in both regions for two weeks.
