A: There really is no &#8220;average&#8217; day on the Fellowship team. Depending on the time of year, the activity can be radically different.\u00a0 Q: What fellowships does EWB offer? A: Prior to March 2020, EWB offered three different Fellowship Programs: The Junior Fellowship program for University Chapter members that provided a three-month in-country work placement with one of EWB&#8217;s ventures or boundary partners in Sub Saharan Africa; The Long Term Fellowship, where young professionals volunteered for a minimum of one year in a work placement with one of EWB&#8217;s ventures or boundary partners in Sub Saharan Africa; The Kumvana Fellowship, where, over the course of a year, young African entrepreneurs and leaders develop business and social skills while in their home country and attend a five week intensive program \/ homestay opportunity in Canada. Due to the pandemic, all three of these program have been put on hold. We are currently launching a new Spring \/ Summer 2021 Fellowship program, The Canada-Africa Innovation Fellowship. This part time fellowship will provides a unique opportunity for undergraduate students based in Canada and Africa to work together and develop innovative solutions to complex global challenges. While attending a 15-week program, Innovation Fellows will work in groups to learn, create and accelerate ideas as a way to build a sustainable and inclusive future. With additional mentorship and coaching from sector experts, it is a unique chance for university students to grow their leadership, entrepreneurial and innovation capacity while engaging in cultural, academic and professional exchange.\u00a0 Q: What does the application process look [&hellip;]","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.ewb.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Copy-of-Concordia_ChampagneParty1.jpg","thumbnail_width":1600,"thumbnail_height":1066}
