Humanity in Action is pleased to announce the 2018 Humanity in Action Fellows. Humanity in Action Fellows are young leaders who are dynamic, entrepreneurial and passionate about changing the world. These 158 Fellows will participate in the Humanity in Action Fellowship programs in Europe and the United States.
Humanity in Action is an international educational organization. We educate, inspire and connect a global network of students, young professionals and established leaders committed to promoting human rights, diversity and active citizenship—in their own communities and around the world.
The Humanity in Action fellowship programs are highly interdisciplinary and feature daily lectures and discussions with renowned academics, journalists, politicians, and activists, as well as site visits to government agencies, non-profit and community organizations, museums and memorials. The programs seek to highlight different models of action to remedy injustice relating to diverse societies.
Since 1999, Humanity in Action has engaged more than 1,800 Fellows in its transatlantic study programs focusing on human rights and minority issues—past and present—in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and the United States. Humanity in Action Fellows have used the knowledge gained in the programs and inspiration from one another to make a difference in public service, journalism, medicine, law, education, the arts, business, and grassroots action. Humanity in Action’s unique international network of leaders is a valuable resource to policy-makers, diplomats, educators, business leaders, and civic-minded individuals and organizations. Humanity in Action supports all Fellows financially for the duration of their programs, allowing for the merit-based selection of diverse applicants.

The Humanity in Action Fellowship programs in Europe and the United States
The Humanity in Action Fellowship programs in Europe take place from June 8 through July 8, 2018, in Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Sarajevo, and Warsaw. In each national program, an international group of undergraduate students and recent graduates from Europe and the United States explore the histories and contemporary politics of diversity in that country.
Humanity in Action International Conference
The Fellows in the European programs will reconvene in Strasbourg, France at the end of the programs for the Ninth Annual Humanity in Action International Conference from July 5 to July 8, 2018. The 2018 International Conference will focus on the European Union as the largest global peace project and one of the primary mechanisms for economic, political, cultural cooperation and advancement of fundamental rights in Europe. More than 250 Fellows, Senior Fellows, board members, supporters and friends of the organization will convene at the European Parliament in Strasbourg to explore the complex dynamics of European identity, collective memory, and remembrance, as well as political, economic and cultural collaboration.
