Humanity in Action is pleased to announce the newly-selected Fellows from the United States. From a competitive pool of applicants, 18 Fellows from the US were selected to join the 2025 Humanity in Action Fellows cohort.
“Our Fellowships are designed to challenge, provoke, and inspire. We push young leaders out of their comfort zones and into deep, uncomfortable, necessary conversations—grounded in history, shaped by cross-cultural exchange, and driven by action,” shared Azi Khalili, Executive Director of Humanity in Action, Inc. “I am excited for this new cohort to experience Humanity in Action’s unique approach.”
Our Fellowships are designed to challenge, provoke, and inspire.
Two 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.
Six will travel to 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.
Another six Fellows 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.
Finally, four Fellows will experience 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.
