** Cultural Survival Announces 2018 Community Media Youth Fellows
------------------------------------------------------------
Imagine communities where every youth flourishes. We cannot foresee the future but we do know that when Indigenous youth supported in cultivating their creativity, true potentiality is unlocked. Cultural Survival is pleased to announce eleven Indigenous Youth Community Media Fellows, as part of the Community Media Grants Program. The Fellowship Project aims to support young Indigenous leaders between the ages of 16-26, who are committed and eager to learn about technology, program development, journalism, community radio, media, and Indigenous Peoples’ rights advocacy. Capacity of the fellows will be built through trainings, community radio station exchanges, and conference attendance.
This fellowship is an opportunity to assist fellows in their visions to represent the voices of their communities and bring awareness of local issues to global conversations through their proposed projects, all the while strengthening their cultural identity and leadership.
