REFUSENIK is about the triumph of grassroots activism. It is the story
of ordinary people who launched a non-violent movement that crossed all
ethnic, racial, and religious boundaries, and ultimately became the most
successful human rights campaign in history. What had started as a
fledgling movement of students and housewives eventually freed one and a
half million Soviet Jews, and cracked the seemingly impenetrable wall of
Soviet Communism.

Open Society Institute Invites Innovative Thinkers to Confront Global Challenges
Deadline: Ongoing
Amount: Competitive stipend, plus travel, research assistance, and
related fees
More information: http://www.soros.org/initiatives/fellowship
The Open Society Institute <http://www.soros.org/> has announced a new
fellowship program to enable outstanding individuals from around the
world to pursue projects that will inspire meaningful debate and shape
public policy.
The Open Society Fellowship is designed to enable innovative
professionals — including journalists, activists, academics, and
practitioners — to work on projects focused on four themes: National
Security and the Open Society; Citizenship, Membership, and
Marginalization; Strategies and Tools for Advocacy and Citizen
Engagement; and Understanding Authoritarianism. OSI supports a limited
number of fellows whose projects are germane to its mission but fall
outside the four focus categories. In particular, OSI welcomes
applicants who will work on areas of emerging interest to OSI,
especially global warming and post-conflict environments.
Fellows' projects may include books, articles, documentary films, online
media, and efforts to seed new campaigns and organizations. OSI seeks
fellows who will engage with its staff and inform its thinking.
The Open Society Fellowship will award a total of $2 million in 2008.
OSI will provide fellows with competitive stipends and communications
assistance, and will integrate them into its networks of partners and
grantees. Most fellowships will be awarded for one year.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. For complete program
information, visit the OSI Web site.
