Humanity in Action’s educational, networking and leadership programs have for over 20 years now focused on human rights violations, social tensions and how to sustainably address and prevent them.

Together with over 2.700 Fellows and Senior Fellows, who are committed to social justice all around the globe, we are an international non-profit, non-partisan and non-governmental organization. We bring carefully selected students of diverse backgrounds to the same tables and collectively look at the histories behind contemporary social justice headlines and develop solutions to contemporary human rights challenges.

For the next three years, Humanity in Action Denmark’s will focus on the nexus of climate change and human rights by bringing together Danish, American and European students. To learn more about or apply for the 2023 Copenhagen Fellowship, please click here.
