A Fellowship offers you a unique chance

Become part of a group of young people from around the world, who under the guidance of a leading personality - your project Friend – work together on a project with a clear goal. Dance on stage, build houses for scavenger families,  help children through animal-assisted therapy or educate youths on healthy food – become a Dekeyser & Friends Fellow.

Fellows are the reason why we are here and everyone in principle between 18 and 28 can apply for a Fellowship.

Being a Fellow is...

 
not only about learning about a particular area, skill or study program. Being a Fellow offers you the space for inspiring thoughts and experiences, time to find out what can happen if you believe in yourself, are part of a fantastic team and work hard and with joy.

Fellows learn specific skills.

 
They will be taught and benefit from their hands-on project experiences. More importantly, however, every project tries to give Fellows the space to think about their own ideas and dreams, receive positive feedback and feel inspired to think independently about their life.

Reasons for wanting to become a Fellow can be manifold.

 
Are you interested in becoming a Fellow because you will have the chance to do something you have dreamed of your entire life? Do you have an idea you would like to implement and are hoping to get inspired from the encounters and experiences? Have you benefited from an extensive education and are applying for a project in your specific field of interest? Do you want to apply for an experience in a field that you would not normally get involved in? Do you want to spend time with the project Friend? Do you want to live and work together with young people from around the world? All these reasons can be good reasons for your application.

Becoming a Fellow...

 
is about being curious, learning about a certain area and about trying to seek inspiration and positive feedback under exceptional circumstances.
