Dear colleague in peacemaking and dialogue,
The International Dialogue Centre - KAICIID is pleased to announce a call for applications to its 2026 International Fellows Programme.
I hope you will consider sharing this among your networks or members.
The KAICIID International Fellows Programme is an international capacity-building and professional development programme designed to bring together religious leaders, educators, and practitioners from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds worldwide. The Programme is designed to connect and cultivate a network of leaders committed to fostering peace in their communities through interreligious and intercultural dialogue.
Since its launch in 2015, the Programme has equipped more than 550 Fellows from nearly 100 countries with the dialogue skills needed to promote mutual understanding and cooperation between diverse religions and cultures in a global world. We have had Fellows from 17 global religious and faith traditions, and dozens of denominations or movements within those.
In 2026, we are excited to call two international cohorts.
- The "International Cohort" is open to all applicants globally, with a preference for those in higher education, community or religious leadership, or policy development that impacts religions and religious communities.
-
The "Youth-Focused Cohort" specifically invites staff and volunteers of international, regional, or national youth-focused agencies, organizations, and networks. It is not limited to youth applicants.
The deadline for Applications is 31 July.
