How To Join YLAC and Instagram Counter-Speech Fellowship
The YLAC Counter-Speech Fellowship with Instagram engages creative teens to use the power of visual storytelling to start meaningful conversations on issues important to young citizens around the world.
Hinged on using arts for advocacy, the fellowship was first launched in 2017 and will run in seven cities in 2019 – six in India (Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Guwahati) and one in Nepal (Kathmandu).
As an incubator for the future generation of leaders and activists, the fellowship is built around three pillars – awareness, support, and advocacy.
Fellows are mentored and encouraged to build compelling content, and the most inspiring work is promoted on Instagram. The fellowship is designed as a fully funded engagement wherein fellows meet every alternate weekend for 3-4 hours in their city.
The overall span of the fellowship is two months, and the schedule is easy to accommodate alongside regular school work and examinations.
