Thank you.***] ICTE Foreign Guest Office Award Program: Request for Proposals. Due May 10 Third Millennium Foundation (TMF) is committed to supporting a vibrant international network of people and organizations that champion tolerance education and human rights work, especially for young people and their families. To this end, we have launched the International Center for Tolerance Education (ICTE) at 25 Washington Street in DUMBO Brooklyn. ICTE facilitates conferences, houses a scholars' retreat program and incubates young leaders. (Please see the programs description below.) Currently, TMF is actively seeking proposals in human rights and/or tolerance education for our ICTE Foreign Guest Office Award Program. We are scheduling our foreign guests for 2005 and 2006 and want to identify a range of exciting international scholars, practitioners and public advocates that can truly benefit from this program. With this in mind, I am reaching out to you as an expert in early childhood education in the hope that you can nominate qualified candidates. The Awardees will receive an ICTE office and accommodation in New York from one to 6 months. Shorter lengths of stay will also be considered as availability allows. A Foreign Guest Office Award includes: * ICTE guest office within a vibrant community of human rights activists and educators; * Brooklyn-based accommodation; * Conference and training rooms with Audio/Visual equipment; and * Networked technology and other office infrastructure. Just to give you an idea of the range of possibilities, current foreign guests commitments include, South African Early Childhood Tolerance Educator, John Van Zyl. John is Executive Director of ABC Ulwazi, and is the recipient of our first summer Foreign Guest Residency from June – August 2005. In addition, Eisenhower Scholar Datu Ibrahim Paglas, who is from the Philippines, will be in residence for ten days at the end of April. The application submission deadline is May 10, 2005. Award notifications will be made by June 1, 2005. If you know of any qualified individuals that would fit TMF's criteria, please let us know who you would like to nominate and encourage him or her to submit a proposal. Our goal is to select a full year of Foreign Guests through this call. Proposals must specify length of stay and include specific dates and/or flexibility in scheduling.
