History

'The Reconciliation Fellowship supports activities undertaken by individuals that facilitate dialogue and practical engagement aimed at enhancing understanding and developing collaboration. It promotes reconciliation by bringing global support to individuals engaged in local projects.

'Tutu Reconciliation Fellows are appointed on the basis of their work in the broad area of reconciliation. A key consideration in the selection process is the likelihood that a person’s ongoing work will generate deep and sustainable outcomes that advance reconciliation in one or more communities.

'The Tutu Fellowship provides recognition and support to enable people from all walks of life to explore and develop the reconciliation dimensions of a particular project, activity or issue.' (GR.org)

The Fellowship is awarded by Global Reconciliation.
