Welcome

Tēnā koutou kātoa

On behalf of the Atlantic Fellows programs and the Atlantic Institute, welcome to the Atlantic Fellows lifelong community.

The Atlantic Fellows global community is made up of a network of social change leaders from seven Atlantic programs across the world. At the end of your in-program fellowship year, you join this cross-program community as part of the next step in your journey as a lifelong Fellow — locally rooted and globally connected. We aim to create a catalytic global community of social change leaders who together can build a more equitable and just world.

We recognize that leadership is not only about individual achievement but also about connecting with others and creating opportunities for collective leadership and action. Atlantic Fellows are an extraordinary group of courageous, compassionate and collaborative thinkers and doers, and we hope that you will find that this community is a place of inspiration.

As a Global Atlantic Fellow, you will have access to development opportunities from your local program and the Atlantic Institute. This includes the Global Atlantic Fellows Annual Convening (following the completion of your local program), thematic convenings, residencies, learning labs, webinars and grants. These are funded through the vision and generosity of The Atlantic Philanthropies and are bespoke offerings co-designed with and for Fellows to support a flourishing community of incredible changemakers. It is a purposeful, values-driven endeavor, which impacts change on behalf of others. It is also a gift exchange — with benefits as well as obligations.

As part of the obligations, we ask that members of this community give expression to our values in the following ways:

● Showing up with kindness and integrity as you connect with people who bring different perspectives and experiences. You will be connecting with people who speak a different language to you and with those who see the world through a different cultural lens to yours. Fellows also bring different experiences of injustice and pain, which may be as a result of colonization, enslavement, war, displacement or structural racism. This is what makes our community special as we connect across diversity and root causes of inequities but also shared reimaginings and solutions for a better world. Being a member of this community can, therefore, be a space of discomfort, so we ask that you:

● Share your own perspectives with authenticity, grace and care.

● Sometimes step back and listen to others to ensure there is space for perspectives/ narratives/ stories other than your own.

● Engage in courageous conversations (including disagreement) with kindness and empathy — deconstruct but also focus on rebuilding and *(k)new solutions.

● Recognise your own privilege and power and take action to challenge the status quo and lived realities.

● Feel free to reimagine a (k)new world with others in this community.

● Be mindful of privacy, both in terms of what you share following an experience and in your use of social media, including how you share your experiences and photographing others.

● Be leaderly and respectful in the way that you honor the gift of the Atlantic community:

● Show up on time for flights, transfers, programming and be present and respectful of each other and the convenors.

● Be generous of your time and your resources in the spirit of reciprocity.

● Be kind and gracious in the receipt of resources. It is a community of love, but the staff are not your personal travel agents or assistants!

● Share the results of your experiences as an Atlantic Fellow inside and outside of this community.

The “Global Atlantic Fellows Guide” outlines what we can offer you now you have completed your program and explains why we act as a community to realize a healthier, fairer, more inclusive world.

Warmest regards,

EVIE O’BRIEN, Executive Director of the Atlantic Institute

*(K)new solutions draw on longer histories, knowledge, ways of being but are also made possible by leaps in innovation to catalyze our community to (k)new thinking and action through the wisdom we collectively hold and the possibility of the unimagined.

Who we are

Having completed one of the seven Atlantic Fellowship programs, you have become a Global Atlantic Fellow and joined the global Atlantic Fellows program community, supported by the Atlantic Institute. You will find that we work in partnership with Atlantic Fellows programs on specific events and offerings, as we seek to support you in your collective work to address health, racial, social and economic issues, and create positive change in your communities and beyond.

There are nearly 700 Global Atlantic Fellows, who are currently active in around 70 countries. As individuals, you are already likely to be having a significant impact on your communities but by working together, this growing global community can be truly transformative worldwide.

Atlantic Fellows are changemakers from diverse geographies, backgrounds and sectors that include academia, government, civil society, health, law, environment, education, the creative industries, the private sector and more. By collaborating together on developing innovative solutions, social changes can occur more rapidly. Successful projects, in time, can be rolled out across different countries, with adaptations grounded in the realities of different local and regional contexts. Our strength comes from the intersection of thought leadership, creativity and passion, and hands-on work that translates intent into action. We celebrate the community’s diversity as a catalyst for shifting perspectives, seeding ideas and inspiring new possibilities.

This booklet outlines ways in which the Atlantic Institute can support you as Global Atlantic Fellows. Our mission is to provide you and Atlantic Fellows program staff with the networks, architecture and resources to connect, learn and act to address the underlying systemic causes of inequities, locally and globally. The Atlantic Institute has four strategic goals:

● Atlantic Fellows Community: To build a catalytic lifelong community of leaders who connect, learn and collaborate across diverse perspectives.

● Programming and Impact: To provide courageous programming (face to face and virtual) that supports Fellows and staff to shift narratives, shape policy and create (k)new solutions.

● Global Network and Sustainability: To build an extended community with strong strategic partners and alliances.

● Learning and Innovation: To drive a culture of reflection and learning, allowing the Atlantic Institute to be responsive to changing needs, new technologies and brave ideas.

The Institute will promote collaborative endeavors and shared approaches, and connect the Atlantic Fellow community to other equity-oriented initiatives and organizations. The Atlantic Institute seeks to amplify each program and each Fellow’s potential to have a positive impact on the world, resulting in a collective groundswell of action that changes narratives, shifts policy and creates (k)new solutions for lasting systemic change.

Together, we are building a fairer, healthier and more inclusive future where all communities can thrive.

THE RHODES TRUST

The Atlantic Institute is hosted by the Rhodes Trust in Oxford in the United Kingdom. The Rhodes Trust at the University of Oxford brings together and develops exceptional people from all over the world and in all fields of study, who are impatient with the way things are and have the courage to act. To find out more, go to: www.rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk

In recent years the Rhodes Trust has also partnered with several other remarkable organizations to create:

● The Mandela Rhodes Foundation, focused on providing postgraduate educational opportunities and building exceptional leadership capacity in Africa.

● The Schmidt Science Fellows program, seeking to expand the horizons of the next generation of leaders and innovators in the natural sciences, engineering, mathematics, and computing.

● The Rise program, an initiative of Schmidt Futures and the Rhodes Trust, which will build a network of exceptional young people who are committed to helping others throughout their lives.

OPENNESS

Our values

The Atlantic Institute is aligned with the visions and missions of the Atlantic Fellows programs. The Atlantic Institute’s values, which guide our decisions and how we act, are:

We aim to be authentic, to actively share, to listen and to be receptive, and to approach all that we do with integrity, transparency and empathy.

CARE

We seek to be intentional in our expression of care by demonstrating generosity, empathy and kindness in our interactions with others, whether in agreement or disagreement. We aim to support people through a genuine concern for the well-being of all and a recognition of our shared humanity.

CREATIVITY

We champion creativity in each other and in ourselves. Through agile thinking, courageous and confident conversations, the freedom to reimagine, taking risks and leaning into difference, we aim to create the conditions for (k)new solutions for a better world.

RADICAL INCLUSION

We aim for radical inclusion, going beyond intent to action, embracing our proximity to others and recognizing our shared humanity. We aim to listen with humility and reach out to those who stand at the margins while acting purposefully to shift power to create an equitable environment for all.

SOLIDARITY

COURAGE

We recognize the knowledge each one of us holds; we respect the rights of others and celebrate our differences as well as our shared humanity. We commit to taking care of others, respecting, supporting, serving and lifting each other in solidarity.

Being courageous means recognizing our power and privilege; and taking action to challenge the status quo and surface lived realities. We also have to recognize when to step back and listen to others to try to ensure that there is space for diverse voices and perspectives to emerge.

“

I feel fortunate to be part of the Hub community where we can connect, share, learn and support each other, no matter where we are in the world. ”

The Global Atlantic Fellows Annual Convening

The Global Atlantic Fellows Annual Convening is designed to formally welcome you to the global Atlantic Fellows community. The Convening heralds the start of the process in which the Institute supports you to work collaboratively with Fellows from other programs for fairer, healthier and more inclusive societies. For most Fellows, the Convening will be the first in-person interaction with the global community. The Convening aims to foster cross-program connection, cultivate a sense of belonging to the global Atlantic Fellows community, facilitate open dialogue between diverse perspectives and, finally, encourage collective action to address inequities.

The Convening is Fellow-centered — from the co-creation of the event activities to profiling the work and perspectives of Fellows in panels and sessions, while also providing opportunity to hear from global leaders and experts from multiple disciplines. The Atlantic Institute creates a co-design group with 14 Fellows (two from each of the seven programs) and representatives of the Global Atlantic Fellows Advisory Board (GFAB), who decide upon the theme of the Convening, choose the activities and speakers, and develop the overall feel and focus of the event. We recognize that the global Atlantic Fellows community is comprised of leaders working tirelessly to meet the needs of their communities and vulnerable groups, so making time to focus on well-being is important too. There are opportunities for meditation, exercise, artistic expression and reflection as well as access to trained psychologists who are available onsite during the Convening.

Art can make a difference. We believe that the arts are an avenue for spurring engagement, insight and action that can achieve transformation. Artistic interludes are woven into each day of the Convening as Atlantic Fellows and program staff play instruments, perform songs, plays and poetry, and come together through dance and music. Engaging with the arts also cultivates a shared understanding of each other’s stories, traditions and cultures.

The Global Convening has become the cornerstone event for sparking collaborative work to address social, economic and health disparities. Fellows who have attended previous annual convenings have gone on to develop a number of impactful projects. For example, one group of Fellows worked together on a project to elevate Indigenous mental health practices, another group on technology that can reduce risks to maternal health, others are engaged in cross-program movements for racial equity and justice. The Institute aims to bring Atlantic Fellows together to form a supportive global community from which a rich diversity of knowledge and skills surfaces in collective work to tackle long-term, systemic inequities.

“ It was a transformative experience. It allowed me to become aware of the community to which I belong and to consolidate a spirit of networking and integration. I was able to plan new collaborations and, above all, build new human ties. ”

ADOLFO GARCIA, Global Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health

CROSS-PROGRAM COLLABORATION

INFORMATION SESSIONS

Do you want to know more about the grants and support available that could help you in your work for equity? Are you curious to know more about the cross-program Atlantic community? Regular information sessions are also held to update Fellows on what is on offer and to hear from Fellows who are working collaboratively. Look out for the “Community Build Information Sessions” that are regularly promoted in the “Events” section of the Atlantic Fellows Hub!

COMMUNITY ZOOM CALLS

We regularly host community calls based on regional or thematic interest. These help strengthen the bonds between Fellows and allow for free-flowing conversations exploring possibilities and ways to engage. In times of particular distress, maybe due to harrowing events or emergency situations at home, Global Atlantic Fellows can also seek support from the Institute to set up calls that create spaces for movement-building and activism with the broader global community. There have been global Zoom calls in response to Fellows’ concerns about outbreaks of violence or cases of worsening security in regions of the world. The Institute team is always on hand to help if you want to know more about how to facilitate such calls.

PEER MENTORING

The Institute offers Global Atlantic Fellows the opportunity to receive coaching on the Atlantic Fellows Peer Group Mentoring Program. The training is a powerful mechanism for cascading core coaching skills and you can experience the power of peer-to-peer learning. Peer mentoring groups of four to five Fellows can then meet regularly, acting as supportive spaces where Fellows talk about current issues, aspirations and projects. The Institute helps select Fellows into their peer groups, matching individuals with others who might share similar challenges. The sessions are a place of valuable feedback, with the role of others in the group being to challenge and support in equal measure to equip you on the next steps of your leadership journey.

“ I found solace and support in the Atlantic Fellows Peer Group Mentoring Program. On it, there were various Atlantic Fellows from different equity fellowship programs and the counsel and support sustained me. ”

DORAH MAREMA, Global Atlantic Fellows for Racial Equity

CONNECTION AND SOCIAL SPACES

The Institute hosts or co-hosts Social Spaces as convenings for Global Atlantic Fellows and program staff to enjoy themselves and get to know others in the community. They are fun occasions that foster a sense of belonging and connection, and they are intended to raise the spirits — all of which helps collective work thrive. We have held meals, exhibitions and classes as Social Spaces and they can be virtual or in-person events. We are always open to your ideas for new Social Spaces!

FELLOWS’ RESOURCES

As well as the support of the Institute’s program and impact leads, we can call on a range of specialists to support you in your collective activities with other Global Atlantic Fellows. Groups that are working together can engage with the program and impact leads to discuss options on how collaborative work can begin, be accelerated, expanded, refined or reviewed. For more information, click on the Hub’s “Fellows’ Resources” tab (af-hub.org/page/resources) to find “Facilitators and Specialist Advisers” or search in the Knowledge Exchange.

Examples of what you can access:

Specialist facilitators ease the process at meetings with other Fellows. For example, you might want a facilitator to help at meetings to build trust, brainstorm ideas, identify shared interests, plan projects for impact or consider which stakeholders to approach.

Monitoring, evaluation and learning specialists are available to help you explore how you might best understand and capture the impact of your cross-program work for equity and embed this into your work from the outset.

Communications advisers can provide support in promoting your activities aimed at crossprogram connection and collaboration. You might want to discuss photography, videography, copyediting and design work.

An introduction to our partners might be useful to your and your cross-program work. The Institute team can help broker useful connections with a range of local, regional and global organizations.

THE ATLANTIC COMMUNITY CAFE

The Atlantic Community Cafe is offered as a way to meet other members of the Atlantic Fellows community easily and effortlessly. It creates spaces for light, serendipitous conversations that could develop into closer connections, mentorships and friendships over time. After signing up, you will receive an email on the first day of the month containing the email address of another member of the community generated completely randomly, so you can then arrange to meet online or in person. To register, click on the Hub’s “Fellows’ Resources” tab and you will find the “Atlantic Community Cafe” at the bottom of the page.

LEADERS-IN-RESIDENCE

Leaders-in-Residence spend six months to one year with the Institute, working on strategic issues relating to the global Atlantic Fellows program community and/or the Atlantic Institute, based on the needs of the Atlantic Institute, the Atlantic Fellows programs and/or the Atlantic Institute Governing Board. The Leaders-in-Residence offer direction and thought leadership to the Atlantic Institute and Atlantic Fellows community. They may do this through compiling a detailed research report or book that examines a particular topic identified by the Atlantic Institute and/or the program executive directors or members of the Global Atlantic Fellows Advisory Board (GFAB). Leaders-in-Residence can be Global Atlantic Fellows or they are drawn from outside the global Atlantic Fellows program community. Upcoming positions are always advertised on the Hub; there will be XR residencies in 2023/24.

FELLOW CONSULTANCIES

Whilst the Institute is not an employer of Fellows, on occasion we offer consultancy work to the global Atlantic Fellows program community to support some of the Institute’s activities. For example, a Fellow consultant worked closely with the Institute team to provide programmatic and operational support for the Global Atlantic Fellows Annual Convening in Thailand; others worked on our climate strategy. The consulting agreements are always for a limited duration and any openings for such positions are advertised on the Hub.

PROGRAMMING

Opportunities for learning and development

The Institute develops and supports a wide range of world-class programming that is open to Global Atlantic Fellows. The content, developed by the Global Atlantic Fellows as well as program staff, is focused on ways of helping the community to connect, learn and be inspired and take action. The online and in-person convenings can be classes, workshops, convenings, labs and webinars, with a global lens to look at issues and topics for discussion. We explore the three areas of our theory of change: narrative, (k)new solutions, and systems-thinking and policy. We also offer ongoing support intended to strengthen your leadership and extend your impact.

THEMATIC CONVENINGS

The thematic convenings are focused on particular multidisciplinary topics or issues that have emerged from themes and interests being discussed by groups of Global Atlantic Fellows. Suggested topics come directly from the Fellows or from the Institute team in response to themes that are particularly relevant to or resonate with Atlantic Fellows. Thematic convenings can also emerge from work by cross-program collaborative groups who want to engage others in a broader conversation with the wider community.

The idea for immersive thematic convenings came from Fellows who said they were keen to have opportunities for experiential learning with other changemakers from diverse backgrounds.

Previous thematic convenings have included:

● Global Justice and Transformation: New Zealand and the Māori Experience (in locations in New Zealand).

● The Effects of Displacement on Health (in locations in Jordan).

● Social Entrepreneurship (in Johannesburg, South Africa).

● Collective Leadership for Impact (in Oxford, United Kingdom).

“It was amazing that the descendants of all of those histories and relationships were able to sit and share the same space to discuss and challenge; ideas, barriers and solutions. ”

BOYD BROUGHTON, Global Atlantic Fellow for Social Equity, who attended the Collective Leadership for Impact thematic convening in December 2022.

HOW TO APPLY

If you want to organize a thematic convening with a group of Global Atlantic Fellows and/or program staff, you can apply to the Atlantic Institute for support. We will ask for the following information:

● Who is in the key team? i.e., Fellows, staff, programs and potential consultants who will be working on the convening and their roles and responsibilities.

● A summary of the context of the event and its relevance to the community.

● The purpose of the convening with its proposed outcomes and/or learning objectives.

THE SELECTION PROCESS

There is an application window each year advertised in the newsletters and on the Atlantic Fellows Hub. The Institute team draws up a shortlist after consulting staff from Atlantic Fellows programs. The proposals in the shortlist are then considered by a selection committee who make recommendations. The Atlantic Institute will make a final decision based on these recommendations. Successful applicants are given the opportunity to work with an Institute program and impact lead, who has experience in convening design, and an Institute convening coordinator, who will provide logistical support as well as arranging flights, accommodation and catering.

FELLOWS-IN-RESIDENCE

The Fellows-in-Residence program is an offering for people with experience in their field who might want to explore different possibilities with others in a similar position. The program will bring together a maximum of seven Fellows and two board members or Atlantic Fellows program staff, so you can work closely with one another for one to two weeks in Oxford. Residencies may also offer opportunities for certification from partners and collaborators.

The primary purpose is to draw exceptional and experienced Fellows at a pivotal point in their life journey into a collective program. You can find inspiration and strength from a group of peers in considering and developing their own work as well as better understanding inequities at a global and multisectoral level.

● To create a space for lifelong learning, particularly for those at a later stage in their career.

● To create the right conditions for following your curiosity with a group.

● To draw on the “edge effect”: ie., where the edges of two ecosystems meet, there is the greatest chance of “biodiversity” to create new forms of thinking and action.

● To create opportunities for deeper collective reflection with others at pivotal points in their lives.

● To support those who struggle with burnout and sacrifice syndrome.

● To create opportunities for group discussion about how to navigate complex exits and new entry points.

SKILLS DEVELOPMENT: WORKSHOPS, COURSES AND MASTER CLASSES

The Institute offers bespoke training and skills development events, usually in response to requests from Fellows and the Atlantic program staff. We promote them on the Hub, in emails and in WhatsApp messages. They can be online or face to face, and vary in length and depth. Previous sessions have included sessions on narrative change, meta leadership, fundraising and policy change, amongst others. To take part in the events, you simply register for them on the Hub.

LEARNING LABS

Learning Labs are places where Global Atlantic Fellows can reflect on processes and projects with a group of other Fellows to foster and cultivate best practices within the community. These sessions can be in-person or virtual. Nine out of ten respondents who attended a Learning Lab said that it created an “inclusive and inspiring” learning experience. Fellows reported that they benefited from the opportunity to share, learn and connect across programs. One Fellow said: “It is affirming to know that we may be separated by borders and seas but we face similar challenges and we all want to make a difference.”

THE ROCKWOOD LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

We work with the Rockwood Leadership Institute, a U.S.-based organization that provides leadership training opportunities throughout the year. The Rockwood Leadership Institute is known for delivering best practices and leadership development methods to nonprofit communities. Its vision is to develop thousands of social change agents trained in partnership, communication, conflict resolution, team building and planning to produce powerful results. The Atlantic Institute offers sponsored places throughout the year for Fellows to attend Rockwood’s virtual training sessions.

All Fellows who took the course, The Virtual Art of Leadership, said the training “exceeded their expectations” for a leadership training experience. Some 83 percent of Fellows said they would strongly recommend The Virtual Art of Leadership training to colleagues in the nonprofit sector.

METAFUTURE - BECOME A FUTURIST

In partnership with Metafuture (www.metafuture.org ), an educational think-tank that explores futures-oriented issues, we offer Fellows and program staff the opportunity to become a futurist. Learn how to study and predict the future, especially on the basis of current trends.

Become a Futurist is a self-paced online course led by Professor Sohail Inayatullah, a world-leading futurist, who shows how to approach futures thinking and practice (theories, methods, tools and processes), based on the “Six Pillars” model. This model looks at alternative and preferred futures, and the world views and myths underlying them.

We offer access to the Become a Futurist online course and certification from CFAR (the Center of Futures Intelligence and Research). If you choose to study for the award of the certificate, you will be supported with the writing process. Gaining the certificate is beneficial because it should allow you to operate comfortably in the Futures field.

“ The facilitators at Rockwood Leadership Institute fostered a safe space for critical reflection on leadership and how concepts such as purpose, power, partnerships and personal ecology influence how we show up as leaders in our communities. The week of training provided many rejuvenating moments as well as practical tools to improve leadership skills. ”

KEVIN LIVERPOOL, Global Atlantic Fellow for Social and Economic Equity

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND THE XR SPACE

We believe the future landscape of social justice will be shaped by XR (Extended Reality), or what some refer to as the embodied internet, web three or the metaverse. Just as those furthering equity throughout history have harnessed the power of traditional technologies to uplift communities and ideas, we believe the movement toward equity will be strengthened and celebrated using emerging technologies. As societies rely increasingly on virtual platforms, virtual spaces can become spaces of liberation and freedom; and can lessen the impact on the environment so that flying around the world doesn’t feel like the only route to a thriving community.

The future of this innovation will affect us all, and who shapes it in the coming years will have an impact on how future generations navigate their lives. We believe it is crucial that this new digital world is built by those seeking to create equitable futures; therefore, it is vital that our global community is made up not of passive recipients of emerging technologies but at the cutting edge of them, equipped with the networks, architecture and resources to co-create, critique and champion our futures in XR. As Shirley Chisholm, the civil rights activist and first Black woman to be elected to the United States Congress, said: “If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” In some ways, our work in XR is our “folding chair,” a place where we can develop critical and constructive thought, and build the future.

We provide spaces of programming, conversation and engagement around XR technologies, bringing into sharp relief the contradictions and opportunities for us all whilst engaging with leading thinkers and doers. We host residencies, workshops and run talks and events, with the hope of inspiring you and bringing new possibilities to creative ideas that previously would have felt impossible.

THE XR LAB AT RHODES HOUSE AND ELSEWHERE

The Atlantic Institute has also established an intentional space in the “reimagined” Rhodes House, in Oxford, for testing, creating and expanding the boundaries of XR technology.

The XR Lab is a place to gather and explore new technology, borrow equipment and be supported to learn how XR can strengthen your equity work. You can use spatialized platforms to connect virtually with each other to find out how, as a global community, we can be meaningfully together when we are physically apart. The Lab will be connected to other spaces across the world that will hold technology and equipment.

Whether you are part of a group keen to develop augmented solutions to post-surgery recovery, or creative activists developing a 360-degree film about racial bias, you will have the space, equipment and, if required, external expert support to develop your work and share it with the community and beyond. In time, we envision an archive of thought-provoking virtual experiences created by our community to forge a better world.

Like the technology itself, our engagement in this area is emerging, so please reach out directly to the Extended Reality lead, Alice Wroe, with any ideas, questions or proposals at: alice.wroe@atlanticfellows.org

“ The Institute is keen to support Fellows who want to contribute or lead on community events every step of the way. We welcome requests from Fellows who want to host events in collaboration with us. Indeed, we greatly encourage this as the strength of this community lies with the Fellows. ”

KHALIL GOGA, Atlantic Institute Associate Executive Director, Community and Programming

Our work in Africa

Given the growing inequities between the African continent and the rest of the world, the Atlantic Institute has committed to providing additional resources for African Fellows and those working on the continent. This approach is currently in a pilot phase to test how best to support the community of Atlantic Fellows, both in response to immediate needs and also for making longterm strategic interventions that can catalyze collaborations among Fellows for greater impact and address the root causes of inequities. This is part of the broader Atlantic Institute strategy to include a focus on regions as well as at a global level.

In taking an Africa-centered approach, we recognize the great diversity across the continent and celebrate this diversity as an asset that allows us to draw on the rich histories, Indigenous knowledge and experience of the continent to advance (k)new ways of addressing inequities. We want to provide opportunities for participants to consider the key issues that impact African Fellows.

Our approach currently focuses on these four pillars:

● To create greater opportunities to connect and get to know other Fellows who are part of the community living or working on the African continent.

● To give additional resources to support Fellows in Africa, particularly in relation to making physical space available to Fellows, as needed. Fellows are able to use space for a limited time at the Nelson Mandela Foundation, 107 Central Street, Houghton, Johannesburg, to host meetings or events either free of charge or at a reduced rate. Additional programming and skills workshops that account for the unique needs in Africa are also provided.

● To make Africa-specific offerings available that draw on local cultures and experiences to look at regional issues in depth and explore and strengthen connections between Fellows from the Global South and those in the African diaspora.

● To support partnerships in Africa with key organizations and institutions.

Global Atlantic Fellows in Africa have a dedicated program and impact lead (Africa), Patronella Nqaba, to assist with their work. Contact her at p.nqaba@atlanticfellows.org

GRANTS AND SUPPORT

Grants

Atlantic Institute grants are designed to support the collective work of Atlantic Fellows to achieve sustainable impact in addressing global inequities, based on the notion that collaborative work and the building of a network will be key to addressing systemic causes of inequity – locally, regionally and globally.

This support is currently in a pilot phase and will remain open to Global Atlantic Fellows until June 2025. Should significant impact be demonstrated, funding will continue.

The current funding opportunities available to you include:

SHORT-TERM RESPONSIVE GRANTS

Accessibility Grants: Available to individuals to support access to the global community. Up to £250 is available to help you meet costs that remove barriers to participation. Examples include but are not limited to the cost of data, telephone charges, childcare and self-care costs.

Solidarity Grants: Available to individuals and groups of Fellows for projects that help endangered and marginalized communities to combat the effects of COVID-19 and/or respond to global, regional and local crises such as natural disasters or conflict. Up to £5,000 is available.

GRANTS FOR CROSS-PROGRAM COLLABORATION

The Collective Impact Fund is a suite of five grants that supports connection and collaboration, ideas development and innovation, the scale up and strengthening of projects, and funds to sustain projects for the long term. Some of the grants are available year-round while others are only available at specific times of the year. Grants that are part of the Collective Impact Fund focus on cross-program collaboration between Global Atlantic Fellows from at least two and ideally three different programs. You can find information about the different forms of funding on the Hub.

CHALEEN ARENDSE, Atlantic Fellow for Health Equity in South Africa, worked with two Fellows supported by a grant from the Collective Impact Fund

“ It was my first time working collectively with a fellow from a different country and fellowship program and the experience showed me the power of using each other’s skills and knowledge to achieve the goal of a project. ”

EXAMPLES OF CROSS-PROGRAM COLLABORATION FOR IMPACT

In response to the challenges of COVID-19, Global Atlantic Fellow for Health Equity U.S.+ Global, Jonatan Konfino, and Global Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health, Silvia Kochen, developed a new system to help hospitals in Buenos Aires pinpoint quickly the availability of beds and oxygen in the area to give patients the best chance of survival.

NEWSLETTERS AND OTHER EMAILS

Over the year, the Institute will send you around six “Global Atlantic Fellows Newsletters,” usually on the last Thursday of the month, as well as an “Atlantic Fellows Program Community Newsletter” in early December. The newsletters contain a welcome message from Atlantic Institute Executive Director Evie O’Brien, information about news and events, opportunities and grants, as well as recordings of workshops, podcasts, videos and photographs, and an update from the Atlantic Fellows programs. You also receive up to two “What’s On” events reminders monthly as well as invitations to some of our major offerings.

THE ATLANTIC FELLOWS WEBSITE

Our website atlanticfellows.org gives an overview of the global Atlantic Fellows program community, the seven distinct but interconnected programs and Fellows who, along with program staff, are working to advance fairer, healthier, more inclusive societies. You can learn about the work the Institute is doing to support Atlantic Fellows to connect and collaborate across programs for action, and read about some of the Fellows’ work focused on equity. The website hosts blogs, podcasts and films, and an interactive map to see where every Fellow who makes up this growing global community is based.

ATLANTIC FELLOWS PODCASTS

As part of the Institute’s remit to support Atlantic Fellows in connecting for collaboration and impact, dozens of podcasts have been recorded with Fellows from all seven programs in which they explain their vision, work and their commitment to advancing fairer, healthier, more inclusive societies. Most recently, the series “Conversations on Confidence” with Professor Ian Robertson, neuroscientist and founding director of the Global Brain Health Institute, and Fionnuala Sweeney, of the Atlantic Institute, features Fellows all over the world. They discuss their experiences of, and challenges with, confidence while also examining themes around equity, culture and the confidence of the collective as well as the individual.

The “In Conversation with Storycorps” series invited Atlantic Fellows from different countries to compare experiences in their work for equity. The “(K)new World Reimagined” series hears Fellows discuss how a post-COVID-19 world might impact racism and climate change and affect models of leadership and global solidarity. The “Being Human When Digital” series encourages the Global Atlantic Fellows community to be active rather than passive recipients of emerging technologies. These podcasts and more can be found on Atlantic Fellows SoundCloud at: soundcloud.com/atlanticfellows or on the Atlantic Fellows website.

ATLANTIC FELLOWS FILMS

More than 20 films shot in South Africa, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, Argentina and the United States feature Fellows who, with the support of Solidarity Grants, have pivoted in their daily work to help their communities withstand the COVID-19 pandemic. The films highlight the extraordinary commitment of Fellows. Their stories range from planting community food gardens in South Africa to bringing people who are isolated and living with cognitive impairment together virtually in Brazil and the United States. In Thailand, Fellows improved the design of a hospital, resulting in better care for patients throughout the pandemic. In Indonesia, by helping tourism survive in a local community, Fellows brought relief to local businesses. A film shot in Bueno Aires explains how Fellows from different programs worked on a system to quickly identify and release hospital beds to speed up treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic (see p.28).

“The Induction” film is an introduction to the global community and shares the history and vision behind the Atlantic Fellows. It demonstrates a sense of mission across the seven interconnected but distinct Atlantic Fellow programs and portrays a community pursuing collective action for equity. Additionally, there are films about gatherings, such as the thematic convening in Jordan in 2019 when Global Atlantic Fellows explored the effects of displacement on health. You can watch a selection of the films on the Atlantic Fellows website at atlanticfellows.org and Atlantic Fellows YouTube.

PUBLICATIONS

The following titles are available as digital copies on Knowledge Exchange and in Fellows’ Resources on the Hub.
