The Oslo Scholars program offers university students the opportunity to spend a summer interning with some of the world’s leading human rights defenders and activists.
Candidates are paired with current or past Oslo Freedom Forum speakers — based on their regional knowledge, language abilities, and thematic interests — and travel to work with them in the field or in another research capacity for a summer internship.
Past Oslo Scholars have spent their summers:
– Building schools and educating women in Pakistan
– Learning about mental health in Kashmir
– Conducting research at the University of Toronto on the impact of hate on the mind
– Planning social media campaigns to foster open dialogue about the Eritrean-Ethiopian peace deal
Scholars have come from Harvard University, Tufts University, McGill University, and Wellesley College.
