Humanity in Action is currently accepting applications from talented college students and recent graduates who are intellectually gifted, mature, independent and passionate about social justice and human rights. Current sophomores, juniors, seniors and 2012 and 2013 graduates are eligible to apply.
Humanity in Action Fellowships bring together international groups of college students and recent graduates during the summer in several European cities, to explore national histories of discrimination and resistance, as well as examples of issues affecting different minority groups today. Each program is interdisciplinary and features daily lectures and discussions with renowned academics, journalists, politicians, and activists, as well as site visits to government agencies, non-profit and community organizations, museums, and memorials. This summer’s program will take place in Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Paris, and Warsaw.
The objective of the Humanity in Action Fellowship is to facilitate a collective exploration of the social and political roots of discrimination, as well as to provide a forum where potential solutions to some of today’s most challenging issues can be considered and discussed. The programs are also intended to instill a responsibility among Humanity in Action Fellows to recognize and address the need to protect minorities and promote human rights—in their own communities and around the world.
Applications for the program are due by January 9, 2014.
