Międzynarodowa Szkoła Letnia Liberec 2022

The curriculum was designed to provide a unique academic experience in this challenging period.  The key topics of the course cover the way how does current Europe approach the topic of cross-border cooperation with a particular focus on differences between “old” and “new” Europe. It reflects the current refugee crisis and offers various viewpoints on the links between CBC and Euroscepticism. It also makes possible cultural immersion through extracurricular activities including many field trips. Students are also integrated into the campus through numerous events, walking trips, fun and sports activities. A prolonged free weekend in the middle of the course enables student to make individual trips and explore other European countries.

At the beginning of the program, students participate in an intensive introduction to Czech culture as well as the orientation at the university and the city of Liberec. The programme explains the concept of CBC as one of the key tools to overcome negative effect of national borders in Europe, with particular focus on the different approaches by “old” and “new” EU members and the role of the EU and its financial instruments in promoting CBC.   The knowledge will be framed in the context of current European crisis so that students can understand its causes, different understanding in different European countries and observe difficulties in efforts to promote European identity.
