The U.S. Department of State and the
National Geographic Society are partnering to launch the inaugural competition
for the Fulbright-National Geographic Digital Storytelling Fellowship.
The new component of the Fulbright Program will offer up to five awards to U.S.
citizens for nine months of overseas travel and multi-media storytelling on
globally significant social or environmental topics. Fellows will focus their
digital stories on one of the program’s eight themes: biodiversity, cities,
cultures, disasters, energy, food, oceans, and water.
The Fulbright-National Geographic
Fellowship will provide a unique platform for U.S. Fulbrighters to undertake an
in-depth exploration of a globally relevant issue, comparing and contrasting
how that issue is experienced across borders. Utilizing a variety of digital
storytelling tools and media, including blogs, photography, video, and social
media, Fellows will share their stories by providing content to a National
Geographic blog and other platforms with the support of National Geographic’s
editorial team.
Established by the U.S. Congress in
1946, the U.S. Department of State’s Fulbright Program is the U.S. government’s
flagship international exchange program, designed to increase mutual
understanding between people of the United States and people of other
countries. The Fulbright Program annually supports more than 8,000
students, scholars, artists and professionals from the United States and more
than 155 countries to study, teach, conduct research, exchange ideas, and find
solutions to shared international challenges.
“Inspiring people to care about the
planet” since 1888, the National Geographic Society is one of the largest
nonprofit scientific and educational institutions in the world, promoting
exploration and on topics such as geography, natural science, and conservation.
Operating across a diverse set of media platforms, National Geographic is a
trusted leader in digital storytelling.
With complementary missions,
Fulbright and National Geographic are distinctively suited to deliver this
Fellowship opportunity. This Fellowship will allow Fulbrighters to tell
stories from around the world and advance U.S. public diplomacy goals while
bringing new voices to National Geographic and expanding its in-depth coverage
of pressing transnational issues.
IIE will cooperate with the U.S.
Department of State in recruitment and application review.
