Deadline: 28-Oct-22
The German Marshall Fund (GMF) is seeking applications for its Policy Designers Network (PDN) Fellowship.
The Policy Designers Network (PDN) fellowship brings together young policy professionals to equip them with skills and resources to advance democracy and economic development, to expand their knowledge about regional, European, and transatlantic issues, and to strengthen their networks.
A leadership development program, PDN is a fellowship structured around workshop-style learning sessions and active participation in a transatlantic or regionally focused conference. The learning sessions will concentrate on empowering the fellows to assume greater leadership roles in their organizations or communities, strengthening their skills to lead collaboratively while addressing issues of public concern, to leverage media to advance policy solutions, and to write policy papers.
