Dear Colleagues,
Below is a call for applications announcement for the Second Annual International Summer School at Kyrgyzstan-Turkey Manas University, to be held on July 13-31, 2006.
Second International Summer School in Central Asia
History, culture, language, cordially invites participants to take part in an unforgettable Central Asian cultural and educational Second International Summer School during the summer of 2006. The purpose of bringing people together for the 19 day event is to offer participants an insightful and educational perspective of Kyrgyzstan's people, culture, history, and political and economic institutions.
The International Summer School remains the only facility of its kind in Central Asia for those who are interested in Central Asian Studies and the Turkic World in a historical transition period. Its primary role is to promote the exchange of information and to communicate the knowledge and experiences of the Kyrgyz nation in various fields through seminars, conferences, workshops, and daily Kyrgyz language courses during nineteen days of sessions. Lectures and seminars will be complemented
by visits, field tours, and musical events.
The initiative of creating the intensive summer school program and why it will differ from any other "vacation" you have experienced in your lifetime is simple: the program is designed to enrich the lives of participants by offering an intimate peek at one of Central Asia's most diverse nations. The summer school program will include lectures and seminars facilitated by internationally acclaimed scholars representing various social institutions of the Kyrgyz Republic. In studying the Kyrgyz nation, participants will be invited to learn and experience rich and
informative presentations devoted towards history, culture, music, politics, anthropology, film and theater, language and literature, and social life.
Eligibility: The International Summer School welcomes applicants from a wide range of educational backgrounds. Participants for the International Summer School are encouraged to be students, scholars, academics, professionals, and retirees from 18 to 75 years of age from all parts of the world.
The application deadline is May 1, 2006.
