Fellowship for Indian Journalists

DW Akademie is planning a multimedia "Meeting and Exchange" project for Indian journalists. The fellowship is supported by Germany's Robert Bosch Foundation and will take place in Bonn, Germany in September/October 2012.

The project aims to support Indian journalists in providing authentic, extensive and insightful coverage of Germany. It will offer participants valuable background knowledge for reporting on Indian-German issues.

The fellowship will take place from September 10 to October 26, 2012.
