Copenhagen Fellowship

The Copenhagen Fellowship is an intensive, two-and-a-half-week program held in Copenhagen that brings together 24 selected students and recent graduates to engage with experts, activists and policymakers on democracy, human rights and related global challenges. Participants take part in lectures, workshops, site visits and group discussions, develop an Action Project to implement in their home communities, and join a global network of Senior Fellows for ongoing mentorship and collaboration. The program includes virtual and in-person components across 2026 and is free of charge.

Immersive in-person program with lectures, workshops and site visits; mentorship and access to a global network of Senior Fellows; support to develop and implement an Action Project; virtual kickoff and follow-up labs.
