Summer School on Democracy
“Summer School on Democracy: In search of new understanding of democracy” is the next edition of the Summer School on Democracy organised by the University of Wrocław (Institute of Political Science) since 2013. The school will provide young scholars with the opportunity to engage in a critical reflection on democracy and its evolution in the early 21st century.
The event has started today, i.e. 11 September, will run until 15 September and host more than 20 participants. The school focuses on a new understanding of democracy at the beginning of the 21st century.
During the five days of school, participants will have the opportunity to attend lectures and workshops, and share their points of view on different dimensions of democratic processes in a period of dynamic technological, social and political change, observed at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The detailed topics will be related to the scientific interest of individual participants. It is expected that all participants will submit drafts of their papers or research proposals and will be able to improve their quality through feedback during the summer school.
In addition, the participants will have a chance to visit institutions in Wroclaw such as the Office of the European Parliament in Poland, museums, and other historical institutions.
The school will provide a unique space for open and frank discussions on sensitive topics related to understanding of democracy. It also offers an excellent opportunity for networking and exchanging views among young European professionals from different regions of the continent. Overall, the event will contribute to a better understanding of democratic processes that can be implemented in the future in different fields of research, social and political activities.
We wish the participants fruitful discussions and a pleasant stay in Wrocław!
