Open Learning Network

The Mozilla Foundation and the Shuttleworth Foundation have announced a new fellowship opportunity for "individuals interested in developing innovative approaches that educate people how to promote the open web". They state that this is not an academic research based fellowship but instead one aimed at developing "practical ideas that will allow large numbers of people to learn about, improve and promote the open nature of the Internet". Applicants should be based in Europe or Brazil and be fluent in English. Further information is available at: http://www.mozilla.org/grants/education-fellowship.html.
