Call for Applications (Bosnia and Herzegovina) Humanity in Action
2010 Summer fellowship programs in Amsterdam, Berlin and Copenhagen
Call for Applications (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Overview
Humanity in Action is pleased to invite Bosnian university students and recent graduates to apply for the 2010 summer fellowship programs in Amsterdam, Berlin and Copenhagen.
The HIA Programs in Europe will run simultaneously from June 3 through July 4, 2010.
Intensive and demanding, the HIA summer fellowship programs bring together international groups of emerging minority rights leaders to explore different national histories of discrimination and resistance, as well as examples of issues affecting different minority groups today.
Each program is highly interdisciplinary, and features daily lectures and discussions with renowned academics, journalists, politicians, and activists. There is also a significant number of site visits to government agencies, non-profit and community organizations, museums, and memorials. The programs seek to bridge the gap between theory and practice, and highlight different models of action to remedy injustice.
Since the point of departure in most HIA programs is the Holocaust and related issues of resistance and remembrance, HIA values immensely the participation of Bosnian Fellows—who bring an important perspective given Bosnia’s recent history of violence and war. HIA Bosnian Fellows are expected to participate in the Bosnian Senior Fellows Association once the summer programs end—and to sustain their engagement in the issues addressed during the fellowship.
The deadline for applications is April 5th, 2010.
Eligiblity
Bosnian university students and recent graduates are welcome to apply, especially those committed to the promotion of human and minority rights, tolerance, and intercultural understanding.
You are eligible to apply if:
• You are a Bosnian university student (in your second semester of studies at least) or a recent graduate (no earlier than 2009)
• You are proficient in English and BHS
• You have high university credits/grades
• You possess strong communication skills
• You are knowledgeable about ongoing social, political, and transitional trends in the country (and issues related to European Union accession)
Please note that short-term exchange students and doctoral students are not eligible to apply. HIA seeks applicants who are mature, proactive, self-reliant, experienced in grassroots activism, and comfortable in intensive group activity and interaction. All majors and academic disciplines are encouraged to apply.
The date, time, and place for the interviews will be announced on the HIA website.
Selection
Admissions to the HIA summer fellowship programs is extremely competitive. The first selection is made based on the written application, which must include a curriculum vitae, a personal statement, a response essay, and an action project proposal. Please note that your application must be submitted in English. You should give yourself enough time to assemble all the required application materials before the deadline. Make sure to check the application instructions and guidelines for further instructions.
Based on the written application, several candidates will be invited for a personal interview. During the interview, candidates will be evaluated on the basis of their communication skills, personality traits, and evidence of leadership potential and academic accomplishments preferably within Bosnian society.
HIA does not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity, religion, party affiliation, gender or sexual orientation.
Costs
HIA covers the costs of accommodation, transportation, meals, and participation in program activities.
Program Details
Although the American and the European Programs in Berlin and Warsaw all promote team research and debate on human rights and social justice in democratic societies, the scope and focus of these programs differ slightly.
German Program in Berlin
Program Dates: June 3rd through July 4th, 2010
The German Program focuses on historical and contemporary human rights dilemmas in German society. During the first few weeks of the program, Fellows meet with academics, journalists, activists, elected officials, and recognized leaders in human rights organizations.
In the second half of the program, Fellows develop a simulation game to be used in human rights education. An active learning process, the simulation game entails conducting extensive research in small international teams and engaging in role-play as a group. The larger aim of the simulation game is to understand the political and social dynamics underlying different conflict resolution strategies.
Dutch Program in Amsterdam
Program Dates: June 3rd through July 4th, 2010
The starting point of the Dutch Program is the persecution of the Jewish population during World War II. There are subsequent discussions about political and social developments after the war, the ways in which Dutch society treated minorities after 1945, and more specifically, how it deals with minority populations today. Important areas of debate are slavery, colonialism, immigration, religion, international relations, Europe and the United States, refugees, racism, and xenophobia.
During the first three weeks of the program, Fellows meet with recognized leaders in human rights organizations, politicians, diplomats, journalists, scholars, and artists. For the rest of the program, teams of two to three participants conduct research and write a report on a specific topic within the overall framework of the program. At the end of the program, all papers are presented before the group.
Dutch Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in a follow-up program in Washington, DC, in January 2011.
Interested Fellows will be required to fund their participation in this program, though funding may become available. The Dutch Program brings together 10 Fellows from American universities, 10 Fellows from Dutch universities and two Bosnian Fellows.
HIA Obligations and Opportunities: After the Fellowship
Action Projects
As a requirement of participation, Fellows are obligated to conduct a hands-on outreach initiative—an “Action Project”—in their home communities. The initiative should reflect the HIA fellowship experience. Upon successful completion, Fellows are invited to become Senior Fellows and to join the global HIA network of young advocates.
Professional Fellowship Opportunities
Every year, HIA places more than 50 Senior Fellows in professional fellowship programs and internships to provide practical experience working on human and minority rights. Over 230 Senior Fellows have completed HIA-sponsored internships since 1999. HIA professional fellowship opportunities include the United States Congress, the European Parliament, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, and a wide variety of grassroots and community organizations in San Francisco.
Bosnian Senior Fellows Association
The Bosnian Senior Fellows Association was founded in 2008 and continues to be a growing and vibrant organization. Bosnian Senior Fellows were very active in 2009 and organized a number of events, including dinners hosted by the Danish and Dutch Ambassadors. In addition, Senior Fellows organized a program during the Sarajevo Film Festival, which included private screenings, lectures, and discussions with Bosnian activists. Bosnian Senior Fellows collaborate with one another in the implementation of their Action Projects, and are currently looking forward to welcoming new members to their association.
There are similar Senior Fellows Associations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denmark, France, Germany, Poland, and the United States. These Associations have developed over the years into a global network of almost 1000 Senior Fellows worldwide.

Returning Scholars Fellowship Program
2010/11 academic year
The Returning Scholars Fellowship Program
http://www.soros.org/initiatives/hesp/focus/afp/grants/rsfp invites applications from talented scholars who seek university positions and academic careers in their home countries after studying abroad. The program may operate in: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, Tajikistan and Ukraine.
The program, a part of the Academic Fellowship Program
http://www.soros.org/initiatives/hesp/focus/afp (AFP), welcomes scholars from these countries who have received (or will receive by September 2010) an internationally competitive Master's or postgraduate degree in the following fields: anthropology, area/cultural studies, economics, gender studies, history, human rights & public law, international relations, journalism/media studies, philosophy, political science, psychology, public policy/ environmental studies, public policy/public health, social work and sociology. The program does not support scholars in philology, the visual and performing arts, or business.
Fellowships include a monthly stipend and various allowances, including departmental and professional development funds, and are renewable.
AFP fellows are placed in carefully selected university departments that are amenable to change and demonstrate a realistic and clear vision for future development. The program, which represents part of a conscious strategy to combat "brain drain," helps universities in the region retain promising young scholars, who are essential to the
revitalization of departments and to the sustainability of higher education reforms. Fellowships comprise monthly stipends and various allowances, including departmental, professional development, and mobility funds, and are renewable. . Returning Scholars and partner departments also benefit from the presence of AFP-supported
International Scholars

The program supports placement of Returning Scholars only in AFP partner departments. An interested scholar already associated with a department that is not supported by AFP either will be ineligible or may discuss the possibility of relocating to a qualifying department at another university. A list of current AFP partner departments can be found on our website, though the list is subject to change for the
2010/11 academic year. Potential applicants are advised to explore placement possibilities with an AFP Region Manager or Country Coordinator before applying.
