Course aim

When viewed from distant corners of the world, Europe is frequently perceived as a unified union. But what does being European truly mean? How does one experience it in their daily life? How has this notion of 'European identity' been constructed, and how can it evolve? These very inquiries constitute the aim of this two-week Summer School.

Overview of the academic courses:
- European History and Construction
- Institutions and Policies of the European Union
- Analysing the Notion of European Constitutional Heritage
- Introduction to the European Convention on Human Rights
- European Economy
- EU Common Foreign and Security Policy as a way to reinforce the European identity
