MIGRATION AND TECHNOLOGY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: December 31st, 2024

LOCATION: Multiple Regions

Through the third year of our Migration and Technology fellowship program, they aim to continue creating opportunities for people with lived experience of migration to meaningfully contribute to research, storytelling, policy, implementation of technology, and advocacy conversations from the start, and not as an afterthought. Among their aims is a collaborative, intellectual, and advocacy community committed to border and migration justice. They prioritize opportunities for participatory work, including the ability to pitch unique and relevant projects by affected communities themselves.

ELIGIBILITY:

Lived Experience:

Are you currently in an active situation of forced migration, displacement (externally and internally), or occupation? 

Have you arrived in your host community and find it hard to get access to resources for the implementation of an idea? 

Has your lived experience of migration or displacement inspired you in the development of a project that will have a positive impact on mobile or migrated communities? Please read on!

Interplay of Technology and Migration

Technology already has and will have an ever-increasing impact on the life of all people. We are interested in a wide range of ideas that center the intersection of technology and migration, such as:

Research: Do you need financial support for a research project that deals with the impact of technology on mobile, migrated, or occupied communities? We want to know more.

Journalism: Are you a displaced, migrated or currently migrating journalist? Or are you a member of a community under forced occupation? Do you want to report on how technology is used in the field of migration? Please explain how. 

Culture: As a person with lived experience of migration, displacement or occupation, do you want to make the use of technology in these communities visible through a cultural project? Very interesting. What do you have in mind

Education: Do you want to use your story of migration, displacement, or occupation to teach future generations how to use and to protect themselves against technology? Do you want to use the intersection of migration and technology in order to create awareness in an educational setting? Tell us what you want to do.

Tech-in-use: Do you have first-hand experience with how technology has made the life of people on the move or under occupation more difficult? Are you inspired to develop systems and projects that want to use technology in support of mobile communities? We are all ears.

Tech and the Environment: Are you a person with lived experience of migration and/or occupation and have you witnessed how the development of technology for the global North is causing environmental issues with serious repercussions for your community? Do you witness the exploitation of workers in mines producing materials that are needed for the production of technology? Share with us. 

The MTM fellowship program’s main goal is to support members of mobile communities or people in occupied spaces outside of Europe and North-America. We explicitly invite women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community to submit project ideas. Applicants that can identify with the aforementioned will be treated with priority.

BENEFIT:

$30,000 USD for 12 months
