Urban Unrest

29 March 2008 | Business, Opportunities | Ernesto Aguilar

I will be adding a new video on the training page by Dick Brooks on interview techniques, which I recorded here in Atlanta. Conference wraps today. I may get to post later, but I wanted to forward the following from OSI:

The Open Society Fellowship enables outstanding individuals from around the world, including journalists, activists, academics, practitioners, to work on projects that inspire meaningful public debate, shape policy, and inform the thinking and activities of the Open Society Institute and the Soros foundations.

Fellows’ projects may include books, articles, documentary films, online media, and efforts to seed new campaigns and organizations.

The Fellowship, directed by Leonard Benardo, focuses on four areas: National Security and the Open Society; Citizenship, Membership and Marginalization; Strategies and Tools for Advocacy and Citizen Engagement; and Understanding Authoritarianism. OSI may also support a limited number of projects that fall outside these areas but are within the scope of OSI’s mission.

Fellows will receive competitive stipends, communications assistance, and access to OSI’s networks of partners and grantees. Most Fellowships will be awarded for one year but longer or shorter durations may be considered. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
