Upcoming Deadlines
Landecker Democracy Fellowship Deadline
Date and Time
Sunday, July 17, 2022
Description
Democracies are increasingly under attack as populist and racist ideologies as well as conspiracy myths and fake news are destabilizing societies in Europe and the United States. COVID-19 has further scaled social injustice and inequalities that have long existed. White supremacy, structural racism and other forms of hatred are among the forces that foster division and incite violence toward minoritized communities.
The Humanity in Action organization invites 30 changemakers with inclusive and innovative ideas for social cohesion to join the Landecker Democracy Fellowship. For this endeavor HiA looks for young leaders of diverse backgrounds to support them in their quest to build bridges through projects that enable our societies to unpack and address historic and contemporary systems of inequality. The intention is to support young professionals who have new ideas to form unique and lasting ties among communities that are increasingly drifting apart.
From November to November, HiA brings together 30 changemakers who
receive training and support, a stipend, and seed funding to implement
projects that revolve around the challenges and opportunities of
democracy in the digital age. Once accepted to the program, Landecker
Fellows implement their projects. They receive support through a
stipend of 10,000 Euro as well as project seed funding of 5,000 Euro.
Humanity in Action also provides guidance, programming and supervision
through a virtual and on-site training program throughout the year,
including a virtual Action Academy in February and an in-person Action
Academy in April. Landecker Fellows draw upon their existing networks
and the new connections they make to implement their projects. In the
process, they build a unique and supportive community of changemakers.
Fellows must be based in any EU member state, Ukraine, the United
Kingdom or the United States. They must be born in or after 1980 and
should show a strong record of civic engagement and leadership
experience in their fields.
