The CrossCulture Internships Programme provides an opportunity to young professionals and volunteers from Germany and countries of the Islamic world to broaden their professional and political skills and to gather international experience by a sojourn in the host country – the strengthening of civil society structures and its peace capacities being one of the aims of the programme. The internships encourage the intercultural dialogue between Germany and the Islamic world and sustainably support networking within their cultures.
