The German Commission for UNESCO in cooperation with Bilgi University Istanbul and the International Federation of Coalitions for Cultural Diversity are organising an International Forum of U40-Fellows from 21 to 24 October 2010 in Istanbul in the context of the international capacity building programme “U40 – Cultural Diversity 2030” as a follow up to the U40-World Forum (Paris, June 2009).

The idea of the U40-programme is to give young experts – under 40 – academics, researcher, PhDstudents, post-doc graduates and people active in the cultural field – the possibility to contribute to the international debate on cultural diversity and to the implementation of the UNESCO Convention on the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.

The organizers are seeking up to 10 young specialists (under 40 years old) from Turkey, the southern shore countries of the Mediterranean, West Balkans, the Caucasus, the Middle East and the Gulf States with proven competence and interest in the area of relevant aspects of the UNESCO Convention on the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.

 Deadline: 20 August 2010.
