Amsterdam · Berlin · Copenhagen · Paris · Warsaw
Application deadline: January 10, 2011
Applications and more details available online.
Humanity in Action (HIA) is accepting applications for our 2011 Fellowship Programs in Europe from talented college students and recent graduates.
HIA invites applications from college students and recent graduates who are intellectually gifted, mature, independent and passionate about human rights. Current sophomores, juniors, and seniors and graduates from the undergraduate classes of 2009 and 2010 are eligible to apply.
The HIA Fellowship brings together international groups of Fellows to study minority rights and produce research exploring how and why individuals and societies, past and present, have resisted intolerance and protected democratic values. Separate programs will take place for five weeks in Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Paris, and Warsaw. Applications are due on January 10, 2011.
Intensive and demanding, the HIA Fellowship features daily lectures and discussions with renowned academics, journalists, politicians, and activists, as well as site visits to government agencies, non-profit organizations, museums and memorials. Participation requires a great deal of intellectual curiosity and stamina, as well as the ability to work effectively in international teams.
After the program, Fellows are expected to participate in the global alumni network of HIA Senior Fellows and to sustain their engagement in the human rights issues addressed during the HIA Fellowship. There are also continuing educational and professional fellowship opportunities available for HIA Senior Fellows—such as internship programs run by HIA in the U.S. Congress, European Parliament, and community organizations in San Francisco.
Students of all academic disciplines, interests, and backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
