Deadline: 30 November 2010
Every year, the German-Asia-Pacific Programme gives up to ten Asian and German journalists between the age of 28 to 38 years the opportunity to work in the other country.
The delegates work for eight weeks in German media. At the same time they research their own stories and work as correspondents for their home newsrooms. Hereby, the delegates gain a thorough insight into the politics, economy and culture of the host country as well as an impression of the day to day working practices of the host media.
All delegates of the programme receive a one-off payment of 3,600 Euro from IJP. This should cover most travel, food and accommodation expenses as well as health insurance. Payment by the host media for the work produced is not to be expected.
Application
Journalists between the age of 28 to 38 years who regularly contribute to German or Asian newspapers, TV and radio media as well as online services can apply. Very good English language skills (Toefl) and at least basic knowledge of the German language are an important precondition for the application.
Applicants should send the following application documents to the above contact address: A curriculum vitae in English or German, a passport photograph, a brief description of your research aims in the host country as well a journalistic reference from your editor. The reference should have the double function of supporting your application as well as guaranteeing that you will be available for the entire duration of the programme.
Selection of the delegates: by January 15th, thereafter selection of host media in co-operation with the delegates
Introduction seminar and annual alumni meeting: early May in Berlin
Mid-term meeting for Asian delegates in Germany: mid-June
Final meeting for German delegates in Asia: early October in Berlin
