Editorial Board Fellowship SALTO PI – 22 octobre 2026

Contexte

Young writers, educators and youth workers have until 8 November 2026 at 23:59 Tallinn time (EET) to apply for a place on the SALTO PI Editorial Board. The opportunity combines paid work, international collaboration and a published portfolio, and it is built for people under 35 who want their voices to shape how Europe talks about participation.

The SALTO PI Editorial Board brings together fellows and mentors to build and share resources around the Participation priority. Fellows contribute topics to the Participation Resource Pool, then take those resources back to their own communities through a dissemination campaign.

Applicants may choose one, or at most two, sectors where their experience is strongest:

• Higher Education
• School Education
• Vocational Education and Training
• Adult Education
• Youth

Sport

Choosing carefully matters. Because the application rewards depth, a focused claim in one sector will likely read stronger than a thin claim across two.

Missions et responsabilités

• Contribute topics to the Participation Resource Pool
• Take resources back to own communities through a dissemination campaign
• Participate in remote collaboration with an international editorial community
• Attend the mandatory in-person meeting in January to February 2027
• Publish work and strengthen editorial portfolio

Profil recherché

Eligibility is strict, so check it before investing time:

• You must be at least 18 years old at the time of application.
• You must be under 35 on 31 December 2027.
• You must meet the applicable residence requirements.
• You must be available for the entire fellowship cycle, including the in-person meeting in January to February 2027.

The application has three parts, each weighted differently:

• Sectorial experience, motivation and education (50%)
• Proposed topics and dissemination campaign (25%)
• Previous writing sample (25%)

Tips for a Stronger Application:

• Be concise and specific. The organisers ask for short, targeted answers. Replace general statements such as “I am passionate about youth” with concrete evidence: a project you ran, a group you worked with, a result you can describe.
• Engage with the Participation priority directly. Show that you understand what participation means in your sector, and where you have seen it work or fail. Evaluators will look for real engagement, not borrowed vocabulary.
• Propose topics that fill a gap. Your suggested topics for the Participation Resource Pool should feel useful to practitioners. Think about questions your community keeps asking that existing resources do not answer well.
• Make your dissemination plan believable. A strong campaign names the channels you already use, the audiences you already reach and the steps you will take. A school network, a youth organisation, a sports club or a student newsletter all count if you can show real access.
• Choose your writing sample wisely. You may submit up to 10 pages. Pick a piece that shows clear thinking, a strong structure and a voice an editor would want to publish. If possible, choose work related to education, youth, sport or participation.
