2027 Environmental Community Organising (ECO) Fellowship Program

November 2026 – February 2027 (Online) & 12 – 20 March 2027 (Jakarta, Indonesia)

ArtPeace: Earth, in partnership with the Network for Education and Research on Peace and Sustainability (NERPS) and supporting funders, is offering the 2027 ECO Fellows Program, a funded, hands-on training program for emerging leaders interested in nature, peace, and collective action for sustainable justice.

The Environmental Community Organising (ECO) Fellowship brings together emerging professionals, including students, early-career researchers, and entry-level practitioners, who are interested in environmental peacebuilding. The program combines online relationship-building dialogues, intensive in-person training, participation in NERPS 2027 in Jakarta, and opportunities for continued networking, collaboration, and publication.

From November 2026 to February 2027, selected Fellows will participate in a series of online sessions designed to build relationships, develop a shared understanding of environmental peacebuilding, prepare for the in-person training and conference, and engage with experienced leaders in the field. The in-person program will take place in Jakarta, Indonesia, from 12–20 March 2027, followed by attendance at the NERPS 2027 Conference at the Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional (BRIN).

Selected Fellows will receive support covering visa costs, round-trip transportation, shared accommodation, training and conference registration fees, and meals. Fellows are expected to commit approximately 5 hours per month to the online program from November 2026 to February 2027, as well as full participation in the in-person program in Jakarta. Applicants must be emerging professionals interested in environmental peacebuilding, hold a valid passport, be able to travel to Jakarta in March 2027, and participate in the pre- and post-conference online programming.

Application deadline: 15 October 2026
