Are you a student or recently graduate at a University in Chechnya? Are you curious about other cultures and languages? Are you motivated to be an active member of your society? Then the qualification year of Studies Without Borders is the right thing for you!
Studies Without Borders is a student-run NGO fostering students from countries affected by wars and crisis. In particular, we give scholarships to young citizens, which want to become active in improving the conditions in their homeland. During their time as fellowship holders of Studies Without Borders, e.g. during their qualification year in Germany, they acquire the necessary skills to this aim.
Our offer
The qualification year of Studies Without Borders gives young people from Chechnya the opportunity
- to learn the German language
- to gain intercultural experience
- to try out different course at the University of Tuebingen
- and to acquire new skills and experiences for their active participation in civil society.
We act as a sparring partner and mentor for the ideas of our scholarship holders, so that they can go back after one year with a clear idea in mind, how to become active in the Chechen society. We give them the possibility to acquire the necessary skills to implement their projects, offering special trainings and a network of experts.
