The UNAOC (United Nations Alliance of Civilizations) Fellowship Programme was created recognizing the need to build bridges between cultures and societies through dialogue and cooperation. The objective of the Fellowship programme 2014 is to facilitate positive cooperation and understanding between the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Europe and North America (EUNA) by supporting emerging leaders from these regions to develop a nuanced understanding of each other.

This year 15 emerging leaders from Europe and North America will visit three or four countries in the MENA region during the first half of December 2014. The exposure visit will allow fellows to engage with prominent personalities and institutions in areas such as Government, International Organizations, civil society, media, social impact entrepreneurs, religion and culture. It is expected that through gaining a deeper understanding of the MENA region, fellows will be better able to identify bridges for communication, social business opportunities and dialogue entry points between the two regions.

Application deadline is October 26, 2014
