One of the seven selected Fellows will participate in the Amsterdam Fellowship, taking place from June 17 – July 3 in person. This year, the Amsterdam Fellowship will focus on history and activism as tools for navigating the present and shaping the future. Using Dutch history as an example, the program will add a special focus on colonial history and its repercussions in today’s society.
Another Fellow will take part in the Copenhagen Fellowship from August 11-28, also in person. This year, the Copenhagen Fellows will explore the intersection between climate change, human rights and democracy in a world in crises, with a special focus on the Rights of Future Generations.
Two Fellows will travel to Berlin to participate in Humanity in Action’s in-person program exploring post-migrant perspectives on Germany as an Einwanderungsland. The program will take place from July 7 – 22, 2025, and will focus on Germany as a post-migrant society, examining historical insights and contemporary strategies for inclusion and belonging.
Finally, three Fellows will participate in our office’s flagship program, the Sarajevo Fellowship, taking place in a hybrid setting from July 9 – 31. Our interdisciplinary program will critically examine Bosnian-Herzegovinian society and culminate in the NED Action Week, during which Fellows will develop and implement small-scale civic initiatives addressing critical societal issues.
