The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (icd) is pleased to announce that 
it is now taking applications for this year's round* *of the Germany 
Meets Turkey - A Forum for Young Leaders (GMT) program. Six Turkish and 
six German participants will be selected and together with an already 
established group of twelve young leaders, they will take part in a 
week-long exchange to Turkey in October 2008. In 2009 the twelve new 
participants will return for a one-week exchange to Germany and in doing 
so they will join another newly selected group of twelve young leaders.

Germany Meets Turkey is an interdisciplinary networking program, which 
in addition to the week-long study tour, includes additional local 
events, to be organized by network members in the form of leadership 
initiatives.

We welcome applications from young leaders between the ages of 28 and 38 
from all fields, including business, politics, science, education, 
culture and media, and who are interested in building a sustainable 
interdisciplinary network as the basis for a solid, long-term 
relationship between the two countries.

The selected participants will spend one week touring Turkey, visiting 
the cities of Ankara and Istanbul. The interdisciplinary program will 
include:

· guest speakers from the fields of business, politics, academia, 
science, culture and media;

· exposure to various aspects of national culture;

· formal discussions focusing on German-Turkish relations and other 
topics determined by representatives of business, politics, culture, 
science and the media;

· informal discussions among the young leaders and the planning of joint 
initiatives to take place after the study tour (leadership initiatives);

Germany Meets Turkey is a joint program of the Institute for Cultural 
Diplomacy and the Robert Bosch Stiftung. The program's Turkish partner 
is the Istanbul Policy Centre of the Sabanci University in Istanbul.

Participation in the program is free of charge. Accepted participants, 
however, will be responsible for travel expenses and travel organization 
to and from the study tour. Upon acceptance to the program, applicants 
may request financial assistance on an individual basis.
