This summer, AP will send 44 Peace Fellows out to 29 countries. They will be asked to tell the story of their hosts through video footage, blogs, vlogs, photos and profiles.
AP intends to send every Fellow out with a Flip video camera to capture community advocacy on video. Fellows will leave the cameras with their host, thus ensuring that their video advocacy is sustained.
