Summer School
"Bogomils: A dissident bridge of Europe cultural continuity"
to be held 16th-29th August, Ohrid, Macedonia
The Summer School “Bogomils: A Dissident bridge of European cultural continuity” will explore the history of Europe that is less known yet highly significant, that of the Bogoumil movement and its intellectual legacy. It is a history of spirituality demonstrating centuries-long cultural and intellectual exchange between the Byzantium, Balkans and the West of Europe, establishing civilizational continuity of a Europe undivided between the East and the West. The main aim of the summer school is to present the phenomena of Bogomilism, which in circumstances of rigorous religious confrontations, represented a factor of interaction and unification between different cultures and civilizations in Europe.
The Summer School is integral part of Ohrid Summer University (OSU) which is an academic program for young faculty, PhD candidates, postgraduates, researchers and professionals, which offers intensive, problem oriented and research based courses from the domain of social sciences and humanities.
