Program Details

The Storify Africa Fellowship trains, supports and builds the capacity of young and emerging African storytellers to tell those stories. In doing so, Fellows help organizations shift entrenched stereotypes, and highlight their impact in a way that avoids reinforcing damaging narratives about Africa.

Each cohort of Fellows is assigned to a specific organization and topic area, and will receive training in best practice feature writing techniques and tools to dig deep into the relevant issues. As Fellows, you will have full editorial independence in producing multimedia stories, including written, video, and photographic entries. You will also receive regular editorial support and guidance in developing, editing and fact checking stories.

Stories produced by the Fellows will be published and disseminated through ANF’s story agency, bird, and their media network, with full bylines. As Fellows, you will also join a large and growing network of narrative-shifting journalists and artists across the continent.

Benefits from ANF Storify Storytellers Fellowship

Eligibility Required for ANF Storify Storytellers Fellowship
