At a sold-out event, over than 250 Fellows, Senior Fellows, Board members, supporters and friends of the organization convened in Berlin to examine the rise in nationalism, populism, xenophobia and extremism in Europe and in the United States as well as strategies for responsible citizenship.
The Eighth Annual Humanity in Action International Conference took place from June 22-25, 2017 in Berlin, Germany.
