Welcome to the Blog of Humanity in Action’s American Program 2007
The 2007 American Program staff wishes to launch this blog by extending a warm welcome to all of the fellows. We hope you have had a good journey to the Big Apple and are as excited as we are about the coming weeks. The program features a great list of scholars, professionals and organizations covering a wide selection of topics related to human and minority rights. We will address these issues in a challenging manner, which will stimulate constructive and thought-provoking discussions.
The pupose of this blog is to offer participating fellows, senior fellows as well as others interested in the American Program a forum to interact, reflect on and exchange experiences and thoughts concerning the program. Throughout the program the participating fellows will be responsible for posting reflections, pictures and impressions of the different days on the blog. The fellows have been divided into groups. Each group will be responsible for two postings. The fellows will receive information on the groups and posting dates shortly.
We invite those who are not participating to share their thoughts, comments and reactions on the postings freely. Through the postings and the interaction with you readers, we hope this blog will become the digital component of the American Program experience.
We are looking forward to embarking with you on what is sure to be an intellectually, emotionally and socially intensive journey. We hope you will embrace it fully and do your best to contribute to it.
Best wishes,
On behalf of the American Program Staff,
Nailah and Julia
