Humanity in Action (HIA) is now accepting applications for its 2010 summer fellowship programs.Separate programs will take place for five weeks in Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, New York City, and Warsaw.
The HIA summer fellowship programs bring together international groups of college students and recent graduates to explore different 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 a significant number of site visits to government agencies, non-profit and community organizations, museums, and memorials. The programs seek to bridge the gap between theory and practice and highlight different models of action to remedy injustice.
The objective of the HIA summer 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 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.
To this end, HIA alumni are expected to participate in HIA's international network of Senior Fellows once their programs end—and to sustain their engagement in the issues addressed during the fellowship.
The HIA Programs in Europe will run simultaneously from June 3 through July 4, 2010. The HIA Program in New York City will run from July 7 through August 9, 2010.
