Deadline: 14-Feb-22
The CIEE (Council On International Educational Exchange) has launched the Frederick Douglass Global Fellowship program to explore the impact that effective leaders have had on social justice movements and critical peace and conflict resolution efforts around the world.
Frederick Douglass Global Fellows will explore conflict and injustice from various perspectives and the leaders who sought to affect positive change for their communities and their countries. Fellows will return to America with new perspectives on how effective leaders influence positive social change and inspired to be the catalyst for positive change in their communities and in the world.
This Fellowship is a fully funded summer study abroad program designed for students of color as part of CIEE’s commitment to open doors for all students from all backgrounds.
The sixth cohort of Fellows will be based in Dublin and follow in Douglass’s footsteps with visits across the country in summer 2022.
