Experience parliamentary democracy in Germany!
Every January, the German Bundestag invites politically and socially committed university graduates from South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda to a scholarship program in Berlin.
The idea ; Apply for Scholarship to Experience Parliamentary democracy in Germany 2023 (16 Positions)
Since 2020, the German Bundestag has been offering a scholarship program for talented and politically interested young university graduates from South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. Starting in the 2024 program year, committed young people from Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda who are interested in the German parliamentary system and who are actively committed to democratic values in their home countries will also be able to take part.
In a four-week compact program, up to 16 scholarship holders can get to know the German parliamentary system and political decision-making processes in the German Bundestag up close.
The program ; Apply for Scholarship to Experience Parliamentary democracy in Germany 2023 (16 Positions)
The program takes place annually from January 1st to 31st.
The core of the program is a one-week internship in the office of a member of the German Bundestag.
For this purpose, knowledge of parliamentary democracy and the workings and function of parliament is imparted in a compact preparation. In addition, the issues of a pluralistic society, the protection of minorities and a culture of remembrance are addressed as a political mandate. A workshop on project management is intended to help people develop their own project ideas with the aim of promoting democracy and civil society in the respective countries of origin.
