The YLAC Counter Speech Fellowship with Instagram engages creative teenagers to use the power of visual storytelling to lead change. Anchored at the intersection of arts and advocacy, the fellowship was first launched in 2017 and has since expanded rapidly.
Whether it is in the form of an introspective piece of writing, or a touching chord of music, or powerful poetry or painting, art can be a potent medium to evoke emotion, make society reflect and inspire change in people. Through the fellowship, Instagram and YLAC aim to harness this potential of art and combine it with the power of social media to make the world a better place.
As an incubator for the future generation of leaders, the fellowship is designed as a fully funded program; it is free of cost for the students. The overall duration of engagement is two months and fellows meet every alternate week for a couple of hours. The fellowship is designed in a way that it can be accommodated alongside regular school work and examinations.
Applications to Phase II of 2022 are now open. This phase is designed as a virtual engagement. All sessions will be conducted online and the program is open to applicants across India. Please follow the links below to see details and apply.
