About Us

Our Programs

Our programs connect students and young professionals with renown scholars, activists, experts, decision-makers, artists, and contemporary witnesses affected by past or present human rights violations and structural discrimination. We develop Fellowships, study trips, seminars, workshops, and conferences that challenge contemporary mainstream narratives by looking deeply into historical and current human rights challenges.

Our Focus

The topics we focus on are human rights and social justice issues, particularly those of immigration and diversity. Our programs examine the history and current state of racism and antisemitism. We create a community culture that is collaborative, intensive, caring, open to questioning and learning, interdisciplinary, international and fosters deep friendships. We think about the big questions in life and society – like moral responsibility, values, human dignity and fostering an understanding of different viewpoints.

Our community serves as a resource in supporting our Fellows and Senior Fellows to develop their civic engagement and to actively contribute to their communities. By learning and growing with and through each other we place emphasis on life-long learning. We offer conferences, webinars, workshops, Professional Fellowships and more to our Senior Fellows.
