We are honored that you chose to dedicate your summer to join us in a fellowship on human rights, minority rights, discrimination and racism. We have compiled an intensive program for you in which we address a spectrum of related issues. This program offers you a broad and thorough perspective on minority issues in the Netherlands. Our aim is to facilitate a collective exploration of the social and political roots of discrimination in the Netherlands, and to provide a forum for the discussion of potential solutions. The program in Amsterdam is highly interdisciplinary and bridges the gap between theory and practice by putting fellows in touch with academics and journalists as well as with NGOs and grass roots activists. The intellectual touchstone for HIA and the start of the Dutch program has always been the study of the Holocaust, the most devastating example of the collapse of democracy and the denial of rights to minorities. In the first week we will discuss the role the Dutch took during this period: perpetrators, resistance fighters, victims and bystanders. We will examine how the Netherlands has dealt with this period in its history over the last 70 years. From this starting point, the Dutch program will continue to discuss more contemporary theme's such as immigration and integration in the Netherlands, refugees, institutional racism, xenophobia, LGBTQ rights, diversity and ableism. Program staff in the Netherlands considers dialogue between its diverse, transatlantic fellows to be one of the most important ingredients of the Humanity in Action experience. We therefore stimulate group discussions and fellow contributions. However, these can only be positive and constructive if everyone feels respected, especially in disagreement. Discussion norms and conceptions of “political correctness” differ from country to country and culture to culture. Therefore, we will decide together on how to allow our group to be a safe space for discussion and disagreement for all participants. We hope that you will work with us to make sure that it will remain this way throughout the program. The Dutch program is divided into two phases. The first phase in the input phase: you will meet some of the leading experts and brightest commentators and researchers in the Netherlands. We will visit various programs and initiatives. In the second phase of the program, it’s time for action. We call this the output phase. You will have to decide how to engage with the material featured in the input phase. You will work in groups of around 6 fellows on a journalistic report, a short play, a small documentary, or a social campaign. The third week will begin with introductory talks from speakers who are leaders in these four modes of activism. They will introduce you to the nuances of their work. The rest of the week, fellows will work under their guidance—or independently—to accomplish your self-determined goal and be ready to present on your process during week four. In the time between formal sessions we will provide suggestions for sites to visit and 6 places to go. The Dutch Senior Fellow Network invites you to join their ‘iftar’ meal in the first weekend and a visit to the ‘Stedelijk Museum’ in the 2nd weekend. After four intense weeks of learning, analyzing, discussing, and researching together, all fellows will travel together to Berlin, for the 8th International HIA conference. The 2017 International Conference will explore the rise in nationalist sentiment, xenophobic rhetoric and political extremism across Europe and the United States, and the resultant challenges to transatlantic relations and domestic policies on both sides of the Atlantic. The conference will take place at the Pfefferberg Theater in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. The conference will include keynotes, discussions and workshops with leading European and international experts. It will also feature the annual Senior Fellow Reunion Dinner, skills training sessions, networking opportunities and tours within Berlin. We very much look forward to the upcoming weeks! Stacey Ham and Andy Post will be there as interns to guide you with all practical issues, and to ensure that you have a great time during after programming hours. Please don’t hesitate to contact them or us if you have any questions, problems or comments during the program. We hope that you will come out of this experience feeling educationally richer and even more inspired than when you arrived and with the feeling that you have made many new friends you will stay in touch with in the future. We wish you a meaningful fellowship! We are grateful to all host families, speakers, volunteers, partners and sponsors who helped us to realize this program.

  • Short Projects and Grassroots Initiatives to Address Anti-Semitism Activities Supported by the “Words Into Action to Address Anti- Semitism” Project
    OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) Short projects and grassroots initiatives to address anti-Semitism activities supported by the “Words into Action to Address Anti- Semitism” project Warsaw May 2019 - 2 - Introduction The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe’s (OSCE) participating States have made numerous commitments to preventing and responding to manifestations of anti- Semitism and other acts of intolerance, or discrimination against Christians, Muslims and members of other religions. The OSCE’s 2014 Basel Ministerial Council Declaration No. 8 on Enhancing Efforts to Combat Anti-Semitism specifically tasked the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) to: offer to participating States best practices on efforts to counter anti-Semitism, including by consulting civil society, to effectively identify and address contemporary manifestations of anti-Semitism; facilitate the exchange of best practices among participating States on educational initiatives and other measures to raise awareness of anti-Semitism and overcome challenges to Holocaust education; and promote dialogue and strengthen the capacity of civil society to foster mutual respect and understanding in order to advance the cause of co-operation between different communities. In 2016, the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) launched a multi-year project on “Turning Words into Action to Address Anti-Semitism” to help OSCE participating States follow through on their commitment to prevent and address anti- Semitism. To this end, ODIHR has developed transferable tools and disseminated good practices in three key fields: security, education and coalition building. In June 2016, ODIHR issued a call for proposals to identify short projects developed by civil society organizations that aimed to address anti-Semitism through education or coalition building.

This project was launched in 2015 by the Anne Frank House, in cooperation with local partner organizations from Croatia (Croatian Education and Development Network for the Evolution of Communication - HERMES), Bosnia-Herzegovina (Youth Initiative for Human Rights-YIHR and Humanity in Action- HIA), Serbia (Open Communication - OK) and Macedonia (Youth Educational Forum - MOF). We had big goals - to raise awareness and encourage discussion about the recent history of nationalism, exclusion, prejudice, discrimination in the region and promote debate and dialogue on our common past. We also wanted to promote critical thinking about historical events and their relevance for contemporary challenges, as well as to inspire an interdisciplinary, civic-education oriented history education. This project builds upon the mission of the Anne Frank House, an independent organization that is entrusted with the care of the place where Anne Frank went into hiding during World War II and where she wrote her diary.
