The United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) is pleased to announce the start of its 2016 Fellowship Program

Addressing issues related to intercultural understanding and interfaith dialogue is at the core of the UNAOC Fellowship Program.

This year, participants have been selected for their professional achievements in the field of education in their home countries.

October 20, 2016 Filed Under: Press Releases

The UNAOC Fellowship Program is a two-week intercultural exchange program between young professionals and civil society leaders from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and their counterparts from Europe and North America (EUNA).

Addressing issues related to intercultural understanding and interfaith dialogue is at the core of the program. In 2016, activities and discussions of the Fellowship will also focus on “Education as a tool for the prevention of radicalization and xenophobia.” This year, participants have been selected for their professional achievements in the field of education in their home countries.

2016 Fellows will travel to the United States, Germany, France, Spain, Morocco, Egypt, and Qatar. They will have the opportunity to meet representatives of the United Nations, the U.S. State Department, the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of France, Germany, Morocco, Egypt, and Qatar, Amnesty International and a wide range of journalists, NGOs, think-tanks and civil society actors involved in education and in the prevention of radicalization and xenophobia.

2016 Fellows will meet with religious leaders of Al-Azhar in Cairo, Egypt, the House of One in Berlin, Germany, Rabita Al Ulama in Rabat, Morocco, and the Doha International Center for Interfaith Dialogue in Qatar. They will speak with scholars from prestigious institutions such as Columbia University, Sciences-Po Paris, Cairo University, and Qatar University. They will also visit historical sites such as the Louvre Museum in France, the Berlin Wall in Germany, the Alhambra in Spain, the Hassan II Mosque in Morocco, the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt and the Museum of Islamic Arts in Doha.
