Deadline: February 13, 2020.
The program provides support for fellows to report in-country for up to two weeks, including costs for travel, lodging, and interpreters.
ICFJ brings the selected fellows to Washington, D.C., for a comprehensive orientation that includes story workshopping, safety training, multimedia storytelling, and advice on how to work with fixers/interpreters.
