Humanity in Action is an educational non governmental organisation that seeks to connect, educate and inspire young future leaders on an international level. The Dutch office is located in Amsterdam, with 1,4 FTE staff and 2 interns. The office is run by the national director who resides under a board, with at least a chair, treasurer and secretary. Our budget is annually estimated at 170.000 euro. Funding comes from funds, institution and individual donors. Our main project is the annual 4-week summer program for students from the Netherlands, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Greece and the US. We organise events to strengthen the network of senior fellows, f.e. an annual conference and annual workshop on tools for social change. We organise a 4day junior program for high school students from the Netherlands and coorganise several events. We cooperate closely with our international partner organsations in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Poland, Germany, France, Denmark and the US. Besides we cooperate with the Anne Frank House, municipalities, Humanity House, ProDemos, Amnesty International, and several local organisations in the anti-racism and anti-discrimination field.
Our mission is to create an international network of future leaders with a strong sense of human rights. We do so by connecting young people in a summer program with each other and key figures in the field of academia, anti-racism and anti-discrimation, we educate young people by providing high level lectures, workshops and activities on human rights, diversity, democracy, history. we inspire them by bringing in examples of good practices and developing opportunities for meaningful internships.
