Humanity in Action Sarajevo Fellowship 2024

The fellowship delves into topics related to local leadership, the role of the international community, the responsibility of neighboring countries, power-sharing schemes, legal reforms, and various aspects of localized post-conflict peace operations.

The Structure

• The International Program | June 3 and 4, 2024 (virtual)
  • They will virtually join the entire international 2024 Human in Action cohort of about 100 Fellows to get to know Humanity in Action and your whole cohort.
• The Sarajevo Fellowship | June 5 – 28, 2024 (hybrid (online & in-person in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina)
  • 16 Fellows from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and the US will gather online (June 5-12, 2024) and in-person (June 14-28, 2024) to learn from local experts, community members, and each other.
• Action Projects and Community Support Hubs | September 2024 – May 2025 (virtual)
  • From September 2024 to May 2025, Fellows work on their independent Action Project. They meet virtually for the Community Support Hubs, an online program designed assist Fellows implement their projects and to keep in touch with the community.
  • For the eleven months following the Sarajevo Fellowship, Fellows work on their Action Project: an independent venture focused on promoting democratic values in their own communities. Action Projects are as diverse as Humanity in Action Fellows. Fellows apply their new knowledge and perspectives to the communities they impact—in whatever format they find meaningful. Past Action projects have been documentaries, arts festivals, and new organizations that serve a public good. Planning for the Action Project begins in Sarajevo.
