Afkar Fellows<\/b>\u00a0is a unique fellowship program for catalyzers of social change in North Africa that seeks to boost fellows\u2019 social impact and visibility as influencers in the region. We believe that social change begins with unconventional leaders who build movements, challenge norms, and cultivate safe spaces for alternative thought. <\/span>Over one year, our fellows work to articulate their personal vision and develop the skills and tools needed to increase their outreach and impact.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our <\/span>2017 Afkar Fellows<\/b> include amongst others: a visual artist & gallerist from Libya; a media entrepreneur from Egypt; a calligrapher & art facilitator from Western Sahara<\/span>; a sustainability & inclusion designer from Morocco; an LGBTQ activist, and a creative media technologist from Tunisia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Afkar Fellows is a collaborative initiative of Wasabi, NewSilkRoads, and What Took You So Long, powered by the Creative Force initiative of the Swedish Institute. <\/span><\/p>\n\r\n
