Overview
The SEVEN Fund 2011 Teaching Fellowships enable teachers to travel to Rwanda and study business solutions to poverty. The objective of the Fellowship is to introduce the concepts of business solutions to poverty within the K-12 curriculum. Applicants are not required to have any previous experience in this area; instead, we ask only that you are interested and willing to learn. Winners will be invited to spend two weeks in Rwanda with the SEVEN Fund team, meeting with leaders in the private, government, and education sectors. Individual meetings and trips will also be arranged depending upon the interests of the winning teachers, allowing for the customized exploration of personal interests For example, a biology teacher might spend time with scientists working in Rwanda’s emerging biotech cluster or visiting an innovative sciences school; an art teacher might travel the country to study artisan cooperatives specializing in different handicrafts; a journalism teacher might shadow the editor of a major national Rwandan publication.
Three Fellows will be selected from public school settings, and one Fellow will be chosen from a faith-based school. Interested applicants must submit applications online by January 15th, and the winner will be notified during the first week of February.
What will the Fellowship include?
Fellows will travel to Rwanda for a two-week period during Summer 2011. The exact dates will be determined with the winners, but will occur between June and August 2011. Fellows will be provided with round-trip coach class airfare, lodging, and a daily stipend to cover incidental expenses, such as meals and local transportation. Experienced SEVEN Fund staff will travel with the teachers throughout the two weeks and coordinate all details of the trip.
During the two weeks, the Fellows will meet leaders from around Rwanda; will attend sessions led by SEVEN Fund principals exploring the concepts of business solutions to poverty; will explore for-profit ventures across different sectors in Rwanda; and will complete an individual project that aligns with their personal and academic interests.
Teachers who complete the requirements of the program will receive a $1,000 stipend.
