Summer School on Sociology, Bulgaria, June 2007
The Humanities Research Center - Bulgaria together with the Institute of Sociology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Chairs of Sociology at Sofia and Southwestern Universities have the pleasure to announce a Summer School for Young Social Scientists. We are planning to held it between June 1-10 2007 most probably at the seaside.
It will gather a faculty of leading Bulgarian and European experts, and will be devoted to the improvement of knowledge in the fields of sociology, social practice, social awareness and about environmental issues. This workshop will include such topics as ethnosociology, issues of poverty, culture under market society, conflict resolution, social work, involvement of potential stockholders and other interested parties, lobbying, Ecodesign.
Working visits to related sites as municipality, ethnic minorities' communities, a national park/reserve, and so on is provided where participants will discuss with staff and local authorities and NGOs about their experience. Curricula is still under preparation and, thus, we are still able to accept suggestions and inquiries to improve it to meet in the best possible way interests and demands of the potential participants.
We are still looking for additional funding, but at the moment we expect participants to cover transportation, accommodation and other expenses. The fee to be paid for attendance is 400 Euro/500 USD until March 2007, and 500 Euro/600 USD for late applicants. This amount covers tutition, accomodation, meals and one working trip related to the chosen topic. There might be additional payment for tourist trips for visiting historical or natural landmarks.
We are looking forward for more foreign participants in our Summer School. This might be the first step toward a fruitful cooperation between our academic communities, which is still too scarce. Prospective participants may send their CVs and a brief description what they expect from this workshop to
