Application Deadline: 28 August 2024,
Applications are now open for the 2024 Climate Policy Creative Fellowship. This experimental Fellowship equips creative storytellers to help policymakers make better decisions about climate change.
This programme responds to the need for science, arts and policy communities to collaborate on dynamic strategies for decision-making in response to climate risk. Through this Fellowship, participants will develop the skills, knowledge and practice to help policy audiences engage with climate risk information in ways that could improve their decisions.
This Fellowship is for experienced creative storytellers who are keen to use their skills to enable policy action on climate change.
Requirements
- Creative storytellers e.g., working in theatre, poetry, prose, film, television, podcasts, games, creative agencies, social purpose campaigning organisations. Your work is English language based and could be factual or fictional. You might call yourself a writer or a director or a designer or something else.
- ● People with ‘experience and a developed sense of their own practice’. What does this mean? If you’ve just graduated or started making work, this probably isn’t for you. You’ve probably been working in your field for 5-10 years and done a decent handful of projects. You’re not panicked by the idea of coming up with ideas and collaborating interdisciplinarity.
- ● People who are interested in exploring what it means to use their skills in an instrumental way, to help policy-makers. We get that it can be annoying when artists and creative people are expected to use their skills to fix all the problems of the world. If you’ve had enough of that, this Fellowship is probably not for you. If you’re excited by the idea of finding creative ways to engage audiences with complex subjects in a less purely artistic sense, read on.
- ● People with an interest in working in the climate space- but you don’t need previous experience of projects related to this.
