Applications are open for the Bertha Challenge Fellowship for Activists and Investigative Journalists 2025. The Bertha fellowship is open to those working to expose and counteract the effect of disinformation and corruption on the climate crisis. This Bertha Challenge paid fellowship is a unique international fellowship program for activists and investigative journalists by Bertha. This Bertha Challenge Fellowship 2025 seeks to explore those responsible for spreading the unquantifiable amounts of climate disinformation and expose how this false information is used to the advantage of corporations and politicians with an agenda related to corporate profit.
Bertha Foundation is very excited to launch the fifth Bertha Challenge. This sixth Bertha challenge is an opportunity for investigative journalists and activists to spend a year working on one crucial social justice challenge and to deliver an output of work at the end of this Bertha fellowship. Successful applicants for this international fellowship will receive non-residential paid fellowships. They will also get project budgets to work independently and together to investigate the reasons and solutions to the annual Bertha challenge question, increase their findings to a larger targeted audience, and connect with different stakeholders for the support, information, and sustainable impact through this 2025 Bertha Challenge Fellowship for Activists and Investigative Journalists.
The Bertha Challenge recognizes that activists and investigative journalists have different roles. This Bertha Challenge Fellowship 2025 will provide an opportunity to engage with the complications of the Bertha Challenge question while enhancing the relationships through shared work. Bertha Challenge Fellows will be expected to analyze new ways of working together and outside their traditional silos while maintaining their autonomy and integrity. Investigating stories that expose injustice is increasing work that cuts across professions and organizations. The Bertha Challenge provides a place for a group of mid-career leaders in their specific fields to create professional while compelling work on the subject matter. The Bertha Challenge Fellowship for Activists and Investigative Journalists also encourages debate and strengthens networks beyond the one-year project cycle.
