Changemakers for Youth 2027 – 2nd cohort

October 7, 2026

  • COMMITMENT: We ask applicants to the programme to review the timeline above and consider whether they can commit fully to taking part in all aspects of the programme.
  • ELIGIBLE COUNTRIES: This programme is for Changemakers aged 18-35 who permanently live, work in and create impact in a country in Egypt, Germany*, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Switzerland or Tunisia.
  • LANGUAGE: Whilst the selection of initiatives will be based on the validity of the projects rather than high proficiency of English, the programme will be hosted in English, meaning a good level of understanding and ability to express oneself in English is required to participate in the programme. We openly acknowledge that being unable to facilitate multi-language participation is an unfortunate shortcoming and hope for everyone’s understanding.
  • For all eligibility criteria, please refer to our FAQs below.

* Changemakers and their organisations may be based anywhere in Germany, but their project must create tangible impact in Eastern Germany.
