The prize is awarded for the best playwriting response on the theme of the Alpine Fellowship 2022 – Freedom. Read More about the Theme.
The Alpine Fellowship is a group of writers, thinkers and artists who
are passionate about learning and communicating with a view to better
understanding themselves and others. They value a capacity for openness –
being engaged in critically reflecting on firmly held beliefs; the
courage to be vulnerable – speaking from a place of lived experience;
the drive for curiosity – being truly able to receive and listen to
others.
The think it important to support young people today who may
have become somewhat disillusioned by the reality of modern day
education. They care about discovering what an alternative model of
education might look like. Hence the spirit of the enterprise is
necessarily open ended, and they welcome and seek the support,
contribution and presence of anyone who relates to what they care about.
