ONE WORLD BROADCAST TRUST FELLOWSHIPS.
The British Council and the One World Broadcasting Trust have been collaborating since 1998 on this annual programme, which is aimed at senior broadcasters in the developing world.
Each year 5-6 broadcasters come to the UK for an intensive two-week programme. During this time they meet various people - from programme makers and journalists to regulators and government officials - to learn about the media scene in the UK, and to share ideas, problems, frustrations and hopes. Both sides benefit, and the Fellows go back refreshed and enthusiastic about possible changes and developments at home.
As well as funding and supporting participants from their respective countries, local British Council offices around the world play a key role in identifying participants who might be interested in applying. Additional funding for the programme is provided by the Elizabeth R Fund. Managed by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, (BAFTA), the fund consists of money and royalties donated by HM The Queen, who takes a close personal interest in this particular project.
