About IJP German-Dutch Journalists Bursary Programme 2023

The German-Dutch journalists’ bursary program was founded as the second IJP bursary in 1994. Every year it gives up to six Dutch and six German journalists the opportunity for a working visit in the other country.

The delegates work for six to eight weeks in Dutch or German newsrooms of their choice while also researching stories for their home organization. By being fully integrated into the day to day journalistic practice, they gain a valuable insight into politics, the economy, culture as well as the social fabric of the host country.

Program Details

During the first week of the program those delegates who need more in-depth language training take part in an IJP sponsored intensive language course. During the joint final meeting delegates receive the opportunity to exchange their experiences and make new contacts with their colleagues, many of them stay in touch far beyond the framework of the program. An annual Alumni meeting is another opportunity to discuss common ground and stay in touch.
