Deadline: 7 January 2016
Applications for the 2016 Humanity in Action Fellowships are now open. This program will take place in Amsterdam, Atlanta, Berlin, Copenhagen, Paris and Warsaw from may 24 to June 26 in 2016. The Fellowship seeks to educate, connect and inspire the world’s future leaders in the fields of human rights and social justice.
The objective of the Humanity in Action Fellowship programs 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.
What Fellowships Covers?
Humanity in Action provides a modest stipend for meals; Fellows should also plan to bring spending money of approximately $750 for food and social activities during the fellowship program. Humanity in Action will also cover the cost of airfare to Washington, DC to attend the orientation.
