Summer School of Ethnicity and Migration Studies
http://www.cvek.sk/main.php?p=akclanok&lang=en&lange=en&id=132
The Summer School of Ethnicity and Migration Studies is a two-week
educational program covering topics connected with nationalism and
ethnicity, de-ethnization of the public sphere, migration and
integration analysis, approaches and policies. Topics connected to
de-construction of national myths, analyses of public policies
concerning minorities and discussions over desired migration policy
models form the core of the Summer school activities. Through debates,
lectures and workshops, it presents a unique informal learning space for
student from the Central European countries and creates space for the
participants to get familiar with each other�s ideas and initiate
international cooperation. Lectures and workshops held by highly
qualified experts from the region will be complemented with topical
study trips.
It starts to be obvious that issues of ethnicity are becoming even more
salient in 21st century than in previous ones. As the latest research
conducted by CVEK has shown, the young generation tends to be even more
radicalized mainly due to lack of public discussion, adequate education
and negative influence provided by the media. The Summer School of
Ethnicity and Migration might prove to be one of elements that will
secure coming to terms of effects of globalizations without serious
consequences.
The Summer school of Ethnicity and Migration Studies is organized by the
Center for the Research of Ethnicity and Culture and co-organized by
Selye Janos University Komarno, Masaryk University Brno, Institute of
Public Affairs Warszawa, Multicultural Center Praha, Willa Decius
