7th instalment of the Antall József Summer School, 1-11 July 2019 in Budapest, Hungary. - 16.04.2019 08:57
I would like to take this opportunity to call your attention to the 7th instalment of the Antall József Summer School, to be held on 1-11 July 2019 in Budapest, Hungary.
The Antall József Summer School is a two-week educational programme putting under scrutiny the most pivotal cooperation of the Central European region, the Visegrad Cooperation.
The 2019 event will revolve around the role of the Visegrad Countries in regional partnerships, such as the European Union, NATO, and the OSCE. Given the fact that 2019 marks the fifteenth anniversary of the V4 joining the EU and the 70th anniversary of signing the treaty that created NATO, the V4 are presented with the perfect opportunity to think about, rethink, and discuss their role played in such partnerships.
These issues will be analysed in the light of current political and security policy events (for example, the European Parliamentary elections, Polish parliamentary elections, Slovakian presidential elections, the Brexit, or NATO missions) by talented young people coming from the Visegrad Countries, as well as the Western Balkan and the Eastern European member states. In addition to the educational programme, the Summer School also provides an avenue to learn more about the Central European culture and values, and other participants’ cultural heritage. For this purpose, museum visits, study trips, and other informal activities are also organised.
The Knowledge Centre invites 30 participants, aged 23-35, primarily from the V4 countries, Western Balkan, and Eastern Partnership member states.
The purpose of my letter is to kindly ask for your assistance in distributing the call for application among your students and colleagues.
Please find the call for application attached.
