The Insight Fellowship Program helps exceptional individuals develop their own conflict management skills by working within local or international non-profits of their choice.

Each year-long Fellowship begins with a period of training and development Concord, Massachusetts before the fellow begins three global placements through which they share the best in conflict management theory and skills.

Award

The Fellowship includes a US $30,000 expense allowance for the entire year.

The first three-month placement is held in Concord, Massachusetts at the offices of Insight Collaborative and its sister organization, Insight Partners. During this placement, Fellows undergo rigorous training and coaching in communication, negotiation and mediation theory and skills.

The remaining nine months typically include three foreign placements which the 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.
