For two months, the African delegates will have the chance to work in Germany, followed by German delegates in Africa. They will be integrated into the day-to-day journalism of their host newsroom while researching stories for their home media.
The delegates will receive a fixed payment of €3,000 to cover most of their travel, accommodation and living expenses.
