Эта программа, как и все программы, рекомендуемые нами на www.chechnyaadvocacy.org/opportunities.htm оплачена и покрывает расходы (жилье, пропитание) участников. Многие из этих программ специально нацелены на привлечение кандидатов из национальных меньшинств и регионов, где идут конфликты или есть социальные проблемы, таких, как Северный Кавказ. И это дает Вам больше шансов. Комиссия, ведущая процесс отбора кандидатов не дискриминирует их на почве национальной принадлежности, пола или религии. Однако процесс отбора тщателен и квалифицированных кандидатов много, и нет гарантии, что Вас, как и любого другого кандидата, выберут или не выберут. Это значит только, что заявление должно быть подготовлено качественно. Поэтому мы очень советуем Вам ознакомиться с указанными ниже программами; связаться с нами (can@chechnyaadvocacy.org ), если у Вас есть вопросы; подать заявление, если Вас интересует конкретная программа; или передать информацию о программах интересующимся сотрудникам, друзьям или родственникам.

About the Oak Fellowship

The Oak Fellowship annually offers an opportunity for one prominent practitioner in international human rights to take a sabbatical leave from front-line work to spend the fall semester (September – December) in residence at Colby College in Waterville , Maine . This provides the fellow time for respite, reflection, research, and writing. In addition to conducting his or her own research, the fellow will teach one seminar on his or her work area or expertise. Following the period of the award the fellow is expected to return home to continue human rights work.



The Oak Institute seeks one frontline human rights practitioner working on the human rights of migrants and laborers outside of the United States for residence at Colby in the fall of 2009.



Possible areas of human rights activity may include, but are not limited to: rights of displaced peoples and refugees; discrimination and unequal treatment of migrants; migrant workers’ rights in both formal and informal markets; migrant land and resource struggles; resettlement; human trafficking and smuggling; economically motivated migration; asylum seekers; gender and sexual exploitation of migrants and refugees; or movement of seasonal workers.


We especially encourage applications from those who are currently or were recently involved in on-the-ground work at some level of personal risk and are in need of respite.
