THE EUROPEAN PROGRAMS

 IN 2017, THE HUMANITY IN ACTION FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS WILL TAKE PLACE IN
AMSTERDAM, BERLIN, COPENHAGEN, PARIS, SARAJEVO AND WARSAW. Intensive and
demanding, the Humanity in Action Fellowship brings together
international groups of college students and recent graduates to explore
national histories of injustice and resistance--including the political
foundations of racial hierarchies, Antisemitism, Islamophobia and
colonial domination--as they affect different minority groups today.

year's fellowship agendas, click here [7]. Questions? Visit our FAQ [8]

THE AMERICAN PROGRAM

IN 2015, HUMANITY IN ACTION AND THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR CIVIL AND HUMAN
RIGHTS LAUNCHED THE JOHN LEWIS FELLOWSHIP IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA. The John
Lewis Fellowship [9] honors U.S. Representative John Lewis, an icon of
the Civil Rights Movement. In its first two years, the program explored
the history of the Civil Rights Movement, diversity and minority rights
in Atlanta. In its third year, the John Lewis Fellowship is expanding to
focus on restorative justice in Atlanta. 

 The four-week inquiry and resulting blueprint for restorative justice
will involve a multidisciplinary approach. Fellows, speakers and staff
will produce a blueprint - "An Appeal for Human Rights and Restorative
Justice" for the city. They will explore keys issues and subjects
including education, health, the law, urban and residential planning,
police practices, local and state government, religious institutions,
and the arts. 

 [10]Humanity in Action is proud to partner with The [11]National Center
for Civil and Human Rights [12], Inc. [13], to develop this important
program and is deeply grateful to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation [14]
for its generous support provided through The Center.

HUMANITY IN ACTION'S MISSION AND NETWORK

HUMANITY IN ACTION FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS SEEK TO EDUCATE, CONNECT AND
INSPIRE THE WORLD'S FUTURE LEADERS TO BE RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS IN THE
BROADEST RANGE OF FIELDS - government and diplomacy, journalism,
entrepreneurship and trade, grassroots activism, academia and culture
and the arts.

Upon successful completion of these programs, Fellows will join the
global network of over 1,600 Humanity in Action Senior Fellows [18]. As
Senior Fellows, they are eligible for advanced professional and
educational opportunities, such as fellowships in the United States
Congress and the European Parliament and study trips to Detroit, Berlin,
Athens and elsewhere. 

HUMANITY IN ACTION'S EXPECTATIONS OF FELLOWS

THE HUMANITY IN ACTION FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
COLLABORATIVE LEARNING. They are not suitable for those who restrict
themselves to narrow or dogmatic world views. Rather, these programs are
designed for those who seek to enrich and broaden their knowledge and
skills with various and often conflicting perspectives. The programs are
testing grounds for thinking anew with others about complex issues of
diversity in historical and contemporary terms. The programs focus,
through educational seminars and site visits, on vulnerable populations
and the unfulfilled goals of just democratic societies. The programs do
not engage in on-the-ground training for political activism, although
some programs emphasize campaigns to fight prejudice through social
media. 

 Applicants should know that the programs are intensely challenging on
intellectual, social and emotional levels. Full-time commitment is
required from every participant during the four weeks of the program.
The groups in each country represent, on a small scale, the larger
societies to which individuals belong. We expect respectful debate and
dissent as minority opinions are aired. To probe these matters and
engage in learning and growth, the programs expect and require maturity,
openness, hard work and a generosity of spirit from each of the Fellows.

Please share this Call for Applications widely with your students,
colleagues and contacts. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to
email us at admissions at humanityinaction.org.

Cordially,
Judy
