One thing that the Fellowship gave me is the confidence of stepping into a new group with trust, knowing that beautiful thoughts and friendships will come out of it and that you form the best thoughts together with other people.”

Recent Fellowship Speakers

Every day, Berlin Fellows meet and discuss with established activists, artists, community members, and policymakers with diverse perspectives on social justice and human rights.

Inside the Fellowship via Facebook Livestream

After the month in Berlin, Fellows run impactful Action Projects in their own communities.

For 11 months following their time in Berlin, Fellows work on their Action Project: an independent social justice venture 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. Past Action Projects have been documentaries, arts festivals, and new organizations that serve a public good. Planning for the Action Project begins in Berlin.
