Fieldwork, lectures, sharing sessions, and guitar playing – these are experiences of the 4-day-long research camp organized by the University of Opole together with the Technical University of Liberec. On May 17-21, the students and academics explored the Czech-Polish borderland, staying in the border town of Głubczyce in the beautiful agrotourism center “Stable on Warszawska Street” (Stajnia na Warszawskiej). Our students, as a part of their fieldwork, traced the legacy of immigration from the Eastern Borderlands, investigated local cultural diversity, and mapped patterns of cross-border mobility together with identifying cross-border benefits. We also had guest lectures from the University of Wrocław and the Silesian University in Opava, so the research camp involved four partners of our network located on both sides of the border.
As a political science PhD student, my CEEPUS exchange allowed me to step out of my usual academic bubble. I had the great opportunity to field-test my original simulation game (focused on a trilateral bridge in the Euroregion Neisse – Nisa – Nysa) with Czech students. Their engagement and constructive feedback were highly valuable. The university staff welcomed me warmly and supported my work. I’m especially happy to have started a collaboration with one of the researchers, giving me a great space to share and discuss my work on the b-Solutions initiative. This exchange provided me with fresh perspectives for my ongoing PhD research!
