SPRING-SCHOOL IN HERZEGOVINA (BOSNIA) IS COMING IN 2025 !
In the first phase (2024) the individual capabilities of the consortium “OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE – THE BASIS OF OUR HOUSE EUROPE” were assessed, leading now to Step 2: the “Mostar-Spring-Field School”.
This field school will be open to students from all EUPeace Universities in 2025, and it will engage in student participation through module design. This academic field school, will be a test-pilot for how the integration of cultural heritage and research can be implemented as a sustainable teaching programme. This is based on the idea, that cultural heritage, enriches the individual lives of citizens and is a driving force for social cohesion. On this basis, the consortium of the EUPeace Universities of Marburg, Giessen, Comillas, Mostar and Sarajevoa launched this joint cooperation initiative for 2025.
The future Step 3 will see the members design a research and education programme, which could foreseeably bloom into an international Master’s degree.
This project is made possible through seed funding from the EUPeace Fund, an initial incentive launched to cultivate and develop interest across EUPeace communities in our network; by providing a first format for collaboration, the Fund equips participating researchers, educators, students and administrators with a practical tool for experimentation and active participation, employing a bottom-up approach that generates concrete information on the interests and needs of our communities and informs future collaborative initiatives.
