A talking media organisation TED is seeking applications for its fellowship programme.
The TED Fellows programme is designed to bring together young trailblazers from a variety of fields who have shown unusual accomplishment and courage.
Fellows will receive professional development through virtual workshops and webinars, as well as attend the TED2023 conference scheduled for April 14 to 22, 2023 in Vancouver, Canada.
Participants will also give a TED Talk (at a virtual or live event, depending on the state of the pandemic).
Media entrepreneurs, human rights activists, and photographers can apply for a TED fellowship.
The organiser says that the fellow’s program is not an academic fellowship and non-traditional education is welcome.
In addition to impressive accomplishment, fine character and a good heart are also important traits required in TED Fellows.
Applicants must be fluent in English and have an idea worth sharing.
TED pays for round-trip economy airfare, ground transportation to and from the conference location, meals, and shared accommodation on site.
Every year the TED Fellows program selects a new group of extraordinary, multidisciplinary individuals by open application.
We look for innovators on the rise in their respective fields who are doing bold, original work.
The deadline for the submission of applications is June 30, 2022. Interested applicants can apply here.
