Hi! I had a chat with Nadia about the Human Centric Internet fellowship, and will share it here, so that others who might also consider applying can access the same info:
Good morning! I came across the call for fellows from edgeryders, about human centric internet, and i was considering to apply. [Fellowships with Bursaries for Human-Centric Internet builders!]
Do you think i would stand a chance?
Nadia
Hej Julia
I think so, yes
Maybe create an account, see which discussions are of interest to you and leave some thoughtful comments? https://edgeryders.eu/c/ioh
start by introducing yourself here https://edgeryders.eu/c/ioh/tell-your-story
I cannot guarantee anything but the process is fully open
and I am especially adamant that we have real diversity in participation
perspectives, backgrounds, disciplines, interests, manguages etc
languages
gender etc
Julia
Hi! Thanks for getting back to me! Yeah, i will definitely give it a try then!
Nadia
either way - we are constantly channeling opportunities to support people’s work who are active in the community
And the more active the community, the more we can do this
we are doing several rounds of fellowships too
Julia
Ok, interesting.
Nadia
it’s pretty eclectic - to get a sense of how/where we are wired - the contributions/discussions/approach go from pretty serious to [Welcome to Retirement!]
Julia
Looks like good fun to be honest. I was more leaning towards the serious side, as im brainstorming for some sarcastic futurisitc art elsewhere…
Need to keep the balance. 
Nadia
yes, it is meant as inspiration to get thinking going along lines of how life and tech are intertwined instructions below encourage both creative writing and or first hand accounts of personal experiences as a starting point the two are usually completely separate which I think leads to this disconnect we see in tech.
Julia
That’s great. Personally im usually to much of a grassroots empirical generalist to fit, but this actually does looks promising. Ill give it a shot then. Thanks for taking the time!
