Humanity in Action is pleased to announce the newly-selected Fellows from Germany. From a competitive pool of applicants, 14 Fellows were selected to join the 2025 Humanity in Action Fellows cohort.
“I’m thrilled by the diversity and drive of this year’s Fellows,” shared Kasia Siemasz, National Director at Humanity in Action Germany. “I’m looking forward to what this program will create—but, selfishly, I’m also excited to hear the stories and insights these young people bring and to expand my own thinking.”
We are excited to hear the stories and insights these young people bring.
Three of the selected Fellows will join 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.
Two 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.
Another two Fellows will join the Sarajevo Fellowship, taking place from July 9 – 31, 2025 in a hybrid setting. Their program will culminate in the NED Action Week, during which Fellows will develop and implement small-scale civic initiatives addressing critical societal issues.
Finally, seven Fellows will participate in our office’s flagship program, the Berlin Fellowship – an in-person program exploring post-migrant perspectives on Germany as an Einwanderungsland. The Fellowship 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.
