Humanity in Action Summer Fellowship
Humanity in Action (HIA) Fellowship Programs in Denmark, France, Germany, The
Netherlands, Poland, and the United States are the gateway to
participation in HIA and the basis for highly effective individual and
collaborative action.
The content of the fellowship programs reflects the specific
histories and present challenges of each host country. All programs
focus on histories and theories of resistance to legal and institutional
abuse of minority populations and the development of international
human rights institutions and doctrines after World War II and the
Holocaust.
Each fellowship program is divided into two phases. During the first
phase, recognized leaders of human rights organizations, politicians,
diplomats, philanthropists, journalists, scholars, artists and authors
meet with the Fellows during three-and-a-half weeks of intensive
seminars, site visits, and focus group activities. Each program
culminates in a period of research and writing. International teams of
Fellows focus on past and present minority issues in their host country,
producing a written report.
Following the summer programs, HIA Fellows complete an Action
Project, engaging human rights or minority issues in their home
institutions or communities.
HIA is an international educational organization that engages, inspires, and continuously develops a network of students, young professionals, and established leaders committed to protecting minorities and promoting human rights-in their own communities and around the world.
