The Hrant Dink Foundation, in partnership with Gyumri Youth Initiative Centre, continues to encourage people-to-people and institutional contacts and exchange of field-specific knowledge between the two neighbouring countries behind the closed border. Thanks to the support of the UK Government’s Conflict, Stability and Security Fund, in 2017-2019, within the framework of the Beyond Borders programme, Turkey Armenia Travel Grant will continue to support the cross-border mobility of 150 individuals who are willing to visit the neighbouring country for a specific purpose, by covering the round-trip transportation costs. Turkey-Armenia Fellowship Scheme will offer 10 professionals from Armenia and Turkey the opportunity to live and follow a special programme at a specific Host Organisation in the neighbouring country for four to eight months. Turkey-Armenia Dialogue Programmes will be providing an opportunity to design one-week, tailor-made exchange programmes/study visits to build cooperation between professionals in various thematic fields including education, media, health care, technology, youth, culture and arts, civil society.
The multi-year programme which commenced in early 2017, with feasibility studies and initial preparation phase, will last until late March 2019.
We cordially invite you to the launch event of the programme, during which the Beyond Borders project team will present the upcoming activities and opportunities of the programme, will announce the upcoming open calls and will answer the questions.
