Humanity
in Action Foundation
The Foundation sponsors an integrated set of educational programs for
university students and post-graduates in America, Denmark, Germany
and The Netherlands. Through the core education programs and internships,
the Foundation works to fulfill its mission to engage student leaders
in the study and work of human rights:
--To engage younger generations in histories of resistance and inspire
them to fulfill their moral responsibilities to protect those in danger
from institutionalized violations of minority rights.<
--To strengthen the commitment of American and European university
students to democratic values and foster their knowledge of resistance
to intolerance-past and present. The core programs provide the fundamental
foundation and experience for participation in HIA. During the five-week
period, the international groups of HIA Fellows explore the minority
issues basic to the HIA mission and enter the extensive HIA network.
During this period Fellows research and write reports and prepare to
engage in outreach after the core programs are over.
The associations with other Fellows and the immersion in the minority
issues provides common experiences for all the Fellows-experiences that
aid the development of careers based upon concern for human rights and
the protection of minorities.
One of HIA's major goals is to encourage the Fellows to stay connected
to the Foundation and to each other after participating in the core
programs in Europe and the United States. As part of that goal, HIA
arranges for internships in the areas of human rights and minority issues.
Please note that only students who have participated in the HIA summer
program are eligible to apply for internships.
