John Smith Fellowship Programme
About
The John Smith Trust is now recruiting Fellows from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine for the 2014 John Smith Fellowship Programme.
The Fellowship aims to strengthen and deepen awareness of good governance through a three week programme in the UK. Selection is based on a combination of the leadership potential of the applicant and the quality of the action plan they propose.

The "ideal" candidate will be aged 25-40, working in politics, local administration, business, the media, the arts or civil society, with a track record of achievement in the area of the rule of law.
The Programme will run from 6th June - 26th June in Edinburgh and London.
