Applications from Citizens of all Nationalities Aged 18 and above for its 2022 Writing Prize. Deadline: 1st
April, 2022
See Eligibility, Benefits, Writing Prize, Application Guidelines and
Procedure.
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. We 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.
They 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.
This prize will be awarded for the best piece of writing on the topic of ‘FREEDOM’ – the theme of the 2022 Alpine Fellowship Annual Symposium.
