Action Projects
Action Projects are civic ventures led by Humanity in Action Fellows designed to drive change in their communities.
Action Projects are a core and required component of a Humanity in Action Fellowship. Each Action Project transforms Fellowship insights into tangible community impact and embodies three core tenets—facilitating dialogue, cultivating understanding, and inspiring action. They are implemented in communities across Europe, the United States, and beyond, addressing local challenges with global perspectives. The projects span diverse focus areas—from educational initiatives and artistic interventions to policy advocacy and community organizing—reflecting Fellows’ unique expertise and local needs. Humanity in Action equips Fellows with project development mentorship and networking opportunities through a dedicated support program. A completed Action Project is the entry point to the Humanity in Action Senior Fellows network.
