About us
The Atlantic Fellows for Social Equity (AFSE) is an intercultural life-changing fellowship for Indigenous social equity in Australia, Aotearoa and the Pacific region. We are working for Indigenous-led social change to build on the collective strength, resilience, knowledge and understandings Indigenous people bring to the world. AFSE was established at the University of Melbourne in 2016 with funding from the Atlantic Philanthropies – a foundation established by philanthropist Chuck Feeney. It is one of seven global, interconnected Atlantic Fellows programs across the world. As part of the AFSE program, Fellows from Australia and Aotearoa complete a foundation year where they develop a social change project and complete a postgraduate qualification. Upon completion, Fellows graduate into the lifelong global Atlantic Fellows community. Over the course of 20 years, the program will drive Indigenous social equity by maximising the impact of hundreds of social change makers and connecting them with thousands of peers around the world. We wish to build an online community that reflects the values of Atlantic Fellows and encourage you to join the conversation, we will not tolerate irrelevant, disrespectful, offensive, crude or hateful comments, or comments that make another person on the page feel unsafe. We retain the right to hide, remove or edit comments that we feel are inappropriate and to block a user from the page who acts in a way that we feel is inconsistent with the values of AFSE.
