The Alpine Fellowship 2019 in Fjällnäs, Sweden – Identity

Published by Bojana

Deadline: 10 April 2019
Open to: all nationalities, aged 18 and above
Award: cash prizes

Description

The Alpine Fellowship is a group of writers, thinkers and artists who are passionate about learning and communicating with a view to better understanding themselves and others. They value a capacity for openness – being engaged in critically reflecting on firmly held beliefs; the courage to be vulnerable – speaking from a place of lived experience; the drive for curiosity – being truly able to receive and listen to others.

They think it important to support young people today who may have become somewhat disillusioned by the reality of modern day education. They care about discovering what an alternative model of education might look like. Hence the spirit of the enterprise is necessarily open ended, and they welcome and seek the support, contribution and presence of anyone who relates to what we care about.

Open to all nationalities, aged 18 and above.
