The John Smith Fellowship Programme 2011
The John Smith Memorial Trust is currently seeking applications from potential candidates for its 2011 Fellowship Programme, to take place over four weeks in June and July next year.
The aim of the Fellowship is to enable exceptional individuals to visit and learn about political, judicial, constitutional and other institutions and procedures in the United Kingdom as well as sharing experiences of their own institutions with each other and with British hosts and experts. The Trust aims to foster leadership qualities in an outstanding group of individuals who, on completion of their Fellowship, will return home to apply what they have learnt during their time in the UK. Applications are invited from:
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine
The Trust aims to recruit high-flying and influential young leaders who will make a substantial impact on the future development of their countries. The Fellowship Programme is open to political leaders, government or local government officials, journalists, media experts, lawyers and influential young leaders from civil society or the NGO sector. The "ideal" candidate will be aged 25-40, with a track record of achievement in the area of good governance and public service. Good written and spoken English is essential.
