Action Projects - USA
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.

Naomi van Kleef: Rooted in Rituals: research lab
Naomi initiated a research-based project to explore interreligious encounters and the meanings of rituals in contemporary society. Her motivation arose from daily experiences with misconceptions, stereotypes, and discomfort around religion, both in her personal life and in broader social contexts. With tensions around faith often simmering below the surface, she asked herself: What conditions are needed to make space for open, curious, and brave interreligious dialogue? To begin answering this, she created a zine titled Ritual Letters, a personal and poetic reflection on rituals. This later expanded into a collaborative research lab at Buitenplaats Brienenoord, where she engaged artists, makers, and thinkers in exploring how rituals shape identity, memory, and community.
