Apply for the Berlin Fellowship

Widen the Circle’s 2024 International Bridge Building Berlin Fellowship (formerly known as the “Visiting Program”) takes place in Berlin, Germany from May 29 (arrival) to June 6 (departure). Please complete this form to apply for the program.

We want people to be able to take part in this program regardless of any financial limitations they may have. That’s why we cover the majority of on-the-ground costs, including a broad range of programmatic activities, speakers, hotel, transportation during the program days in Germany, and most meals. Typically, participants are expected to get themselves to and from Berlin, including their own airfare. (We have limited scholarship funding available for those who need it.) In addition, we ask participants who come from institutions or organizations where appropriate funding is available, eg., for conferences or professional development, to apply for funding to offset a portion of the total cost. This usually is discussed at the end stage of the admissions process.

All questions and comments can be directed to Rebecca@obermayer.us.
