Humanity in Action (HIA), Netherlands is currently inviting applications for the fellowship program 2012 from eligible students and recent graduates from universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Ukraine and the United States. Humanity in Action (HIA) Fellowship programs will take place for five weeks in the summer of 2012 in Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Lyon, and Warsaw. Each program will run simultaneously from June 1 through July 1, 2012.
HIA educates a future generation of leaders in the lessons of the past, with a special focus on teaching youth that they have the power to make a difference if they choose never to be bystanders.
Objective
The objective of the HIA 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 HIA Fellows to recognize and address the need to protect minorities and promote human rights—in their own communities and around the world.
About the HIA Fellowship
HIA Fellowship is intensive and demanding in nature that brings together international groups of university students and recent graduates to explore national histories of discrimination and resistance, as well as examples of issues affecting different minority groups today.
Each program is highly 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. The programs seek to highlight different models of action to remedy injustice.
Fellows share the knowledge they gain in their HIA program by creating in-depth, published articles and teaching tools that draw attention to issues and action that are explored during the Fellowship.
