Aspen New Voices Fellowship United States

Description

The Aspen Institute has earned a reputation for gathering diverse, nonpartisan thought leaders, creatives, scholars and members of the public to address some of the world's most complex problems. The goal of these convenings is to have an impact beyond the conference room. They are designed to provoke, further and improve actions taken in the real world. The New Voices Fellowship, launched in 2013, is designed to bring more expert voices from the developing world into the global development discussion, offering a year-long programme of media support, advocacy training, research and writing under the guidance of experienced mentors and trainers.
