We are hereby inviting interested participants to enroll in an international, CEU hosted, 1-semester interdisciplinary online course about the Balkans. The course is free and attendees have a weekly online seminar. Ukrainian students have further ability to apply for a research grant up to 800 Eur if they wish to write a research paper and contribute content to this website, and to attend in person a 7-day summer school in Budapest in Summer 2024.
Interested students should send their CV and a short (200-300 words) motivation letter to [email protected] by February 20, 2024 at the latest.
Justification: Aiming to revive the tradition of Flying Universities, which was filling the gaps of formal education in our part of the world for decades, we developed a course Beyond War and Peace: Rethinking Balkans for Ukraine (4 ECTS credits), organized by the Institute for Democracy of the Central European University and partners from the region. The course will be offered online, starting from March 1, 2024, and consisting of weekly interactive lectures and mentoring sessions held in late afternoon.
The course is part of a wider initiative Invisible University for Ukraine | Central European University (ceu.edu) which proved to be very useful for students of humanities and social sciences. The students are encouraged to partake in other courses too, should they fit their interests. We are particularly pointing out Academic English classes and Advanced Academia courses as relevant additions to their academic portfolio.
The number of places is limited. Successful applicant will be notified by February 25.
