Impact Creators: A Fellowship for Responsible Digital Voices

Impact Creators is a six-month fellowship designed for emerging content creators and digital journalists across the MENA region who are committed to producing responsible, high-impact human-interest stories. This fellowship sits at the intersection of content creation and journalism. It recognises that today’s most influential storytellers may work across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook or podcasts, often combining creative formats with journalistic values.

Through micro-grants, hands-on mentorship, and networking opportunities, Impact Creators supports fellows to develop stories that are:

• Community-rooted and audience-driven
• Ethically produced and responsibly framed
• Focused on public interest and social impact

The programme is implemented by Raseef22 and Internews, combining editorial expertise, regional insight, and global best practices in digital media and impact.
