Action Projects - Germany
Our community takes action to defend democratic values around the world. Explore our Fellows' Action Projects here.
In the 11 months following the on-site Fellowship program, our Fellows work on their Action Project: an independent venture focused on promoting democratic values in their own communities. Action Projects are as diverse as Humanity in Action Fellows. Fellows apply their new knowledge and perspectives to the communities they impact—in whatever format they find meaningful. The Humanity in Action community is a great resource for getting support—be it with contacts, experience or good advice.

Fake News Workshops. How to Stay Informed in the Post-truth Era?
Eliminating the production of fake news is difficult to obtain, as most of the solutions or punishments are viewed as limiting the freedom of speech. For this reason, Joanna Biedrzycka, a student of psychology and sociology as well as a Fellow of 2020 Humanity in Action Warsaw Fellowship/Academy of Human Rights, believes that prevention is key in this situation.

Academy for a Human (Akademia dla Człowieka)
