Fellows Capacity Building

Building Knowledge and Networking

Reagan-Fascell fellows have access to a stimulating environment that fosters learning and professional growth. Through its calendar of seminars, roundtables, capacity building workshops, field trips, and other activities, the fellowship program seeks to:

• build knowledge about the work of the Endowment family and its Core Institutes;
• encourage fellows’ thinking about the theory and practice of democracy;
• support networking for intellectual exchange with the nongovernmental, academic, media, and policy communities; and
• promote a sense of collegiality within the fellowship cohort.

 Democracy Curriculum

The Reagan-Fascell program’s professional outreach is anchored in its “democracy curriculum,” which aims to bring fellows into contact with U.S. experts engaged in democracy research and assistance.
