      I do not see Indonesia here. So I guess you are not eligible.

  1. I would like to learn if it is possible to apply personally. ( without any organization). I am working as volunteer in an organization but I would like to apply by myself. It is not possible to apply via my volunteer organization since I am not a leader or so of it.
    Thank you in advance for your time.

    1. Dear Deniz,

      I think that the role you have in the organization is not important. However, please direct your question to Ingrid Mueller (mueller@jfemail.de), the person responsible for the program, as she will be able to give you the most accurate answer.

      Kind Regards,
