Overview
The Donia Human Rights Center (DHRC) in partnership with the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights (BCHR) (Belgrade, Serbia) seeks applications for a fellowship to support a summer internship with the Belgrade Centre. The successful applicant is expected to spend eight weeks, between May and August 2023, working with the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights team in different programs: Asylum and Migration Program, Criminal Justice Programme, Youth Program, and Rule of Law and Human Rights Program.
The fellowship provides a stipend of $5,000 to defray the costs of living for eight weeks. Applications will be reviewed by a review committee from DHRC and Belgrade Centre for Human Rights. The fellowship will provide an additional $1,000 to reimburse travel expenses to the Belgrade Centre.

Donia Human Rights Center (DHRC)
The Donia Human Rights Center is a forum for intellectual exchange on issues around human rights among scholars, practitioners, students, and the broader public. Toward that end, we invite leading practitioners and scholars to share their insights and expertise on human rights gained through their experiences and research. We also offer internship and study-abroad opportunities to students that would enhance their understanding of contemporary human rights issues and equip them with the tools to tackle challenging human rights problems around the world.
