Fellowship Micro Communities - RSA

Fellowship Micro Communities

The RSA’s Fellow-led thematic networks and area based hubs  enable Fellows to explore, devise, test or spearhead ideas which have the potential to become a powerful source of social change.

If you can't see a network near you below, visit your local area page to find out about other opportunities where you are based. If you wish to start Fellowship activity in a new location, see the RSA Networks Guidelines for clarity and support on this.

Alternatively, you can contact your RSA Area Manager at fellowship@rsa.org.uk to discuss this further.
