21.06.2010 -- 02.07.2010
Bozen/Bolzano Italy
The Summer School deals with the complexities of human and minority rights and diversity management in Europe mainly through the discussion of the international and interregional protection mechanisms of the United Nations, the OSCE and the Council of Europe. Moreover, the wide range of linguistic, educational and political rights to be found in different national constitutional systems will be explored. A special focus explores the concept of cultural diversity under EC law as gaining more and more significance beyond the context of minority protection, as well as the phenomena of immigration and social inclusion. The Summer School will attempt to clarify what it is that forms the core of European identity and whether this factor can overcome the ethno-national legacies of the past.
We offer not only an in-depth overview on human and minority rights but also the possibility to discuss their implementation with international leading academics, lawyers and practitioners from international organisations.
As a conclusion to the Summer School participants will participate in an international conference presenting the final results of the research project "Minority Protection in Central Europe" (see www.eurac.edu/mimi). Thus students will have the opportunity of engaging in expert discussions about the implementation of minority rights and its impact on those concerned.
