THE third edition of Migration & Technology Monitor’s annual Fellowship Programme is seeking journalists with lived experiences of migration to actively contribute to research, storytelling, policy-making, and advocacy related to migration and technology.
The programme aims to continue creating opportunities for people with lived experience of migration to meaningfully contribute to research, storytelling, policy, implementation of technology and advocacy conversations.
“Among our aims is a collaborative, intellectual, and advocacy community committed to border and migration justice” said the organisers.
Fellows are required to participate in monthly webinars, which provide training on project development, ethical storytelling, public outreach, and other essential topics. These sessions also feature guest speakers who aim to learn from and connect with the fellows.
Fellows are expected to present their projects at a public event, such as a conference or workshop, to expand their professional networks.
Displaced or exiled journalists can apply for this year-long fellowship programme.
Fellows will each receive a stipend of US$30,000 for a 12-month period, running from April 2025 to May 2026.
Interested applicants should apply by December 31, 2024 and register here.
