Insight Fellowship Program With 30,000$ Funding – Conflict Management Program

The Insight Fellowship Program is a unique opportunity for exceptional individuals to grow professionally and personally while studying and promoting conflict management in non-profit organizations around the world. The program supports entrepreneurial individuals with a passion for conflict management to help organizations work more effectively, whether that’s through training teams, conducting research, or strengthening pivotal relationships in the field. Fellows complete the year with expertise in conflict management, significant field experience, increased self-awareness. Applicants are equipped to pursue their interests as global citizens throughout their personal and professional lives. 

The Insight Fellowship Program is designed to provide Fellows with a comprehensive learning experience that includes both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in conflict management. During the first three-month of placement in Concord, Massachusetts, Fellows undergo training and coaching in communication, negotiation, and mediation theory and skills. They also have the opportunity to observe and assist Insight Partners consultants and gain access to Insight’s network of academics and practitioners. In addition, Fellows are expected to volunteer to support local conflict management organizations and pursue additional training they may need for their placements, such as language lessons. 

The remaining nine months of the Fellowship typically include three foreign placements that Fellows design and arrange during their Concord placement, with guidance from Insight Collaborative. Each Fellow identifies a broad theme upon which they will focus during their Fellowship, such as conflict and the environment or methods of creating trust. In the end Fellows submit a written paper and provide a presentation on their Fellowship experience to Insight Collaborative upon their return from their final placement.
