Welcome

to the Central & Eastern Europe (CEE) Summer School at the Centre for European Studies, Jagiellonian University, July 3-23, 2005.

The aim of the School is to open the minds of the non-Central Europeans to the aspects of our history, culture and identity. This year the Summer program will focus on the early XX century history of nation-building processes in Central & Eastern Europe as well as on the modern history that culminates with the non-violent revolutions in the region, which made the road open for the transformation of communist regimes in most of the countries of the CEE. The second part of the program will be consecrated to issues such as identity, national as well as a common (central) European one, and also we will dedicate a considerable amount of time to culture and art of contemporary CEE.

To make the understanding of the class work easier the CEE Summer School will take you also outside of scientific world. There will be an opportunity to get to know the history of Kraków while on the tour with one of our lecturers, or to have a talk with our expert on the Holocaust, combined with a visit to Aushwitz; and more...

The School is organized and hosted by the Centre for European Studies with the cooperation with the Interfaculty Studies in Humanities, both of the Jagiellonian University, Kraków.
