Humanity in Action (HIA)
Become a Fellow in the US delegation and learn about social justice challenges and opportunities in Amsterdam, Atlanta, Berlin, Copenhagen, Sarajevo or Warsaw. As part of the year-long Fellowship, HIA Fellows first participate in an intensive four-week educational program providing a country and context-specific curriculum that examines historical and contemporary challenges to human rights, pluralism and equality. After the four weeks, they embark on developing civil society initiatives in their own communities.

- US Mapping Inequities Program (virtual): June 1–17, 2022, followed by the Action Lab series.
- European Fellowship Programs (Copenhagen, Sarajevo (virtual), and Warsaw): June 6–30, 2022, followed by an Action Project implementation and the Action Lab series.

Expenses
Programing during the Humanity in Action Fellowship, including accommodations, is fully funded. However, participants are asked to cover their round-trip travel to the program location as well as some meals and spending money for activities outside of programing. If this is not possible, Humanity in Action may provide either full or partial travel and living stipends for all those with documented need. Recommended spending money for each program location as well as other financial information is available at FAQs.
