A fellowship like no other…

The Aspiring Peacebuilders Fellowship (APF) is a program devoted to engaging and educating young peacebuilders on the theory and practice of peacebuilding. The program explores new possibilities at the intersection of peace and technology. We welcome students from diverse backgrounds to contribute fresh perspectives, encouraging them to bring their own ideas and academic background to peacebuilding. Those who participate in the fellowship will walk away with an unmatched academic experience, a network of peacebuilding experts, and unforgettable hands-on experiences. 

The APF is a partnership between Innovations in Peacebuilding and the Center for Applied Peace Strategies at George Mason University.
