Details:

~ 22 October.,2007 - 2 November, 2007

~Aimed at senior radio and television broadcasters from developing countries

the duration of the programme, and are given a daily living and travel allowance. They are
guided throughout the programme by representatives from the One World Broadcasting Trust.

~ Successful applicants will arrive in London on 21st October, and depart 3rd November. (Any additional nights must be covered at the fellow's own expense.)

Who can apply?

~ Top career potential

~ Sufficiently senior to be able to propose and implement change, with line management responsibility for programme producers/directors

~ Hands on broadcaster or manager (not an academic or theoretician)

~ Assertive and confident, and thus able and willing to engage actively in debate or dialogue with UK broadcasters

~ Has a practical and worthwhile idea of how the time in Britain might best be used

~ Has not participated in a similar Fellowship scheme before

~ Evidence of drive and motivation in your career and associated field of broadcasting

~ Please note that applicants must have permission from their organisations to be absent during this period.
