Humanity in Action Summer Fellowship Programs

Humanity in Action's 2008 Core Fellowship Programs in Denmark, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Poland, and the United States. These 5-week summer programs foster an ongoing, trans-Atlantic dialogue on domestic minority rights and diversity issues among university student leaders. Each Core Program is divided into two phases. During the first phase, Fellows meet with recognized leaders in human rights organizations, politicians, diplomats, philanthropists, journalists, scholars, and artists during three weeks of academic seminars, site visits, and discussion group activities. In the last two weeks of the program, the Fellows break into transnational teams to research and write reports that address past and present minority issues in the host countries. Since our programs focus on minority rights and diversity issues in the US and Europe, we are particularly interested in attracting minority students for our programs. Simply put, it is this diversity of perspectives and experiences that enable the vibrant discussions and personal growth that are absolutely critical to the success of our programs. Moreover, our programs offer a unique opportunity for students to work in a diverse, environment and to obtain the key intercultural skills that are becoming crucial in today's globalized job market.
