The Temporary Relocation Programme (TRP) provides support to artists and cultural actors at risk, enabling them to continue their artistic and cultural work in a safer environment through collaboration with host organisations in Germany. The programme prioritises individuals committed to values of openness, freedom, peace, democracy, and non-discrimination, who face restrictions or threats from state or non-state actors due to their work or circumstances.

Funding covers a monthly scholarship, resources for artistic and cultural projects, insurance, psychosocial support, language courses, training, networking activities, and counselling by the Martin Roth-Initiative. Additional support includes personnel costs directly linked to the project, visa assistance, and opportunities for exchange with other scholarship holders and host organisations. The scholarship visa does not automatically permit employment or self-employment in Germany.
