2023 Open Internet for Democracy Leaders Program

The Open Internet for Democracy Initiative is seeking applications for the next cohort of Open Internet for Democracy Leaders. This year-long non-residential leadership program empowers emerging leaders from across the globe to build their advocacy and organizing skills to protect internet freedom. The 2023-2024 theme is “Collaborating with Policymakers on Digital Governance.”

Leaders will join a unique cohort of global advocates from civic organizations, media, and the private sector who are passionate about protecting and promoting an open internet. If you are interested in collaborating on a joint policy paper that identifies opportunities and threats around a policy trend with a significant impact on an open and democratic online space, please submit an application.

Applications are now open until June 21, 2023. More information about the requirements and opportunities for the Leaders program can be found here.

Applicants must live and work in an OECD-DAC-eligible country. Please share this call with individuals or organizations who might benefit from this opportunity.
