Opportunity: Join the European Centre for Minority Issues's (ECMI) annual summer school

Dear students,

we are delighted to communicate to you that on the basis of our common agreement, we can grant three students the chance to join the European Centre for Minority Issues´s (ECMI) annual summer school.

Find here an excerpt of it´s call for participation:

„In 2022, the Annual Summer School on National Minorities in Border Regions will examine the participation of national minorities in political life. This topic encompasses a broad range of phenomena, starting with the legal definition of citizenship (that provides rights to participation), and continuing with political representation (parties), collective mobilisation (social movements), transnational frameworks (European norms) and minority representative bodies (national councils). While many of these phenomena are related to political science, others are sociological and legal. As a result, the Summer School will also be multi-disciplinary in scope and will thereby speak to many different audiences. Furthermore, the Summer School will not only highlight conceptual lenses, but also profilepractical examples and case studies. This will cover not only profiles of minority political parties, but also successful social movements, mechanisms for monitoring of European norms, and analyses of national minority councils. The German-Danish border region as well as the Basque Country provides an ideal source-base for these topics, since the minorities here embody all of these levels of participation."
