Application Deadline: 13 October 2024.
Applications are now open for the Dialogue Earth Indigenous Voices Fellowship. Dialogue Earth is aiming to help address this by running a fellowship programme for Indigenous journalists, writers and storytellers from November 2024 to December 2025.
The fellowship intends to highlight and amplify issues of concern to Indigenous peoples across South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America, from the diverse perspectives of Indigenous journalists and writers themselves.
Each fellow will enter regional and global conversations on the environment, and receive support from our editors to publish two pieces of work on Dialogue Earth and beyond.
They will be invited to attend next year’s COP30 climate conference in Brazil, in person, where they will participate in a special event. COP30 will be a critical moment for policymakers and other stakeholders engaged in climate action to meet and try to solve the climate crisis and other environmental issues.
Eligibility
The fellowship seeks to support Indigenous writers, journalists, and storytellers from South Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Applicants must commit to attending COP30 in Brazil and to delivering two articles – one investigative/on-the-ground/multimedia, and one desk-based – in the timeline outlined below.
