[hr-education] Humanity in Action Fellowships for undergraduate students

Humanity in Action (HIA) works with a consortium of American and European
universities and in cooperation with the Holocaust Memorial Museum in
Washington, D.C. In its programs, HIA integrates minority issues with the
history of World War II and the Holocaust. It involves leaders of human
rights organizations, politics, diplomacy, philanthropy, journalism, and
science.

HIA focuses on three interrelated areas of historic and contemporary
importance: 1. Examples of resistance to the Holocaust; 2. Development of
international human rights institutions and doctrines through new
standards, rules and procedures after World War II and the Holocaust; 3.
Current human rights and minority issues in Denmark, German, the
Netherlands, and the United States.

The six-week, all expense-paid programs run simultaneously in Copenhagen,
Berlin, and Amsterdam in early summer every year. Through a program of
lectures, discussions, site visits and research projects, the students, or
HIA Fellows, explore the complexities of minority issues in these three
European countries and in the United States. At the end of the programs,
teams of Fellows write and present reports on minority issues in the three
European host countries. The reports are later published by HIA.

The programs involve a total of 60 university students, 30 from the United
States and ten each from Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands. Before
heading to Europe, the American students have already completed three days
of seminars at the Holocaust Museum, while the European students visit the
Museum and New York City after the summer programs, focusing on the study
of American minority issues.

All costs are paid by HIA.
