In 2022, the GLC/GLCAP Professional Fellows program is marking its 10th anniversary. We are reaching out to all members of our alumni community and friends of the program and asking you to support us in two ways:
The GLC Professional Fellows Fall 2022 delegation is arriving in the US this week. The 15-member delegation from Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia will start its six-week fellowship on governance and society in the United States.
Looking for U.S. professionals in community organizing and advocacy to host European Fellows for four-weeks at their organization. Those selected to be U.S. Mentors will have the potential opportunity for a reciprocal trip to Central and Eastern Europe.
It has been a long wait, but it is finally happening!
Twenty three GLC Professional Fellows from Europe from the 2020/2021 cohort have all arrived to their placements in the U.S. by May 16th!
Within this program we will provide financial support for up to $1500 to fund travel and other expenses for an overseas international trip of at least 10 work days to the U.S. or Europe respectively.
“COVID Heroes” is a book of successful stories during the pandemic, and showing of appreciation for all our Alumni that yearn for transformation within themselves and across communities”.
The impact of the pandemic and all the challenges that we are faced with as part of our communities has us all made to shift into thinking and acting in distance, exploring innovative approaches to spark changes, while also taking care of one another.
“COVID Heroes” is full of inspiration, practical wisdom based in brave, thoughtful and collaborative efforts. We hope that it will be useful to people trying to respond to real crises through cre- ative solutions that actually seek to build stronger communities.
For us it has been an honour to get to prepare and publish this book and a journey full of appreciation for your courage and persistence to build a better world.
