UNAOC lance un appel à candidature au UNAOC Fellowship Program 2016 عودة إلى الفرص

Candidates from Europe and North America (EUNA) and from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) can now apply until Sunday June 26th 2016 to participate in the 2016 edition of the UNAOC Fellowship Program.

The main objective of the Fellowship Program is to challenge cultural stereotypes and develop cross-cultural partnerships between peoples from different faiths and cultures. During two weeks, the EUNA cohort and the MENA cohort will visit each other’s region and interact with a wide range of local actors and partners. In 2016, the Fellowship Program will also focus on Education as a tool to prevent of radicalization and xenophobia.

Candidates meeting all of the eligibility criteria will have their application reviewed by a jury composed of UNAOC staff, experts and professionals in the field of Education, and other relevant partners.

The jury will be looking for candidates with strong interest in learning more about EUNA countries and their cultures. To be selected, participants should also have concrete ideas on how to engage with peers and partners from EUNA countries.

The jury will also be assessing professional accomplishment and personal involvement in the field of Education, and will look for applicants with potential of shaping opinion and taking strong initiatives within their community.

The jury will make sure that the final selection is:

• Gender balanced
• Region balanced between participants from North Africa and the Middle East
• Limited to two participants per country
• Professionally balanced with no more than a third of participants working in the same sector or industry.

To preserve the above-mentioned balance and to ensure the quality and diversity of participants, the selection jury will select the next highest scoring candidate to replace the lowest scoring redundant candidate.

Shortlisted candidates might be contacted for a short Skype or phone interview.
