I have just found out that I have been awarded a Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Traveling Fellowship for 2001. I'm still in my planning stages, but am really excited, as this is a fantastic opportunity! Below is some more information about the award & the Trust.

This living memorial to Sir Winston operates a traveling fellowship scheme which enables British Citizens from all walks of life to acquire knowledge overseas to the benefit of the Community and Country. Subjects cover the widest variety of topics: from the arts to industry and leading edge technology; conservation and the environment; social concerns and animal welfare, and from exploration and adventure to services for the disabled. As well as promoting a greater understanding between peoples, the experience makes Churchill Fellows more effective at work and in the community.

Approximately 100 awards are made annually with an average duration abroad of
4-8 weeks.
