How the Fellowship Works
Our Green Web Fellowship consists of five practitioners who join us for a paid part-time fellowship.
These fellows deliver projects of their choice that explore the intersection of digital rights and climate justice movements. They learn together and from experienced practitioners about what powers control the internet, how it is fueled, and what we can do about it.
Learn in the Open
Openness is a tool to shift power. We document our learning processes so that others can build on these experiences and our own learning can be strengthened through reflection.
Collaborative Ethos
Fellows support each other’s learning and participate in workshops on decolonizing the digital rights movement, effective climate communication, digital sustainability and more.
Bridge Movements
Each fellow designs and delivers a project that solidifies their learning and contributes to their community. Fellows are supported in facilitative leadership, capacity building and strategic narratives.
