Deadline: December 1, 2026
Applications for the Nature Culture Fellowship 2027 are now open. The Nature Culture Fellowship brings together a diverse, global community of changemakers to explore how storytelling, artivism, and culture can drive social environmental change and transform systems. Through an online Learning Journey and Project Implementation phase, Fellows begin to seed the values and actions needed for a thriving future for all life.
Program Overview
- Learning Journey: Thought leaders in storytelling, art, systems thinking, environmental and human activism will help Fellows explore elements of culture change and how we relate to the Earth and to one another. Through reflection and creative expression, Fellows influence their communities, cultures and systems to cultivate more reciprocal relationships with the living world. Online immersive sessions are ~weekly starting 5th February 2027 at 14:00 UTC.
- Community Projects: Fellows have the opportunity to bring their insights to life through a variety of expressions. Selected Fellows will receive guidance from NCF staff and a dedicated mentor who offer ongoing feedback and support as Fellows bring their ideas into practice. Along with mentorship, these Fellows will receive micro-grants of $1,000-$2,000 USD to expand efforts in their work, organizations, or through a new grassroots project. All selected projects must implement insights from the Learning Journey to support greater impact on a local, regional and/or global level. Deliver projects from April-August 2027. Project phase timeline may shift based on project scope & local realities.
