Care colleghe/i,
vi mando le informazioni su un great book course che insegnano a Berlino
questa estate. Mi sembra un programma molto interessante e, se avete degli
studenti (di qualsiasi nazionalita' e provenienza) a cui potrebbe
interessare, potreste farglielo sapere.

Dear colleagues,
Please allow us to bring a unique and innovative higher
education
project to your attention: The International Summer University in Berlin

We have assembled a top-level teaching staff hailing from 12
different
nations, and a "great books programme" available nowhere else in Europe.
Now we are recruiting ambitious secondary school graduates and
beginning university students (with no more than 4 semesters completed)
worldwide.
Please forward the message below to any students at your
institution who might be interested in applying, if possible via
departmental or other mailing lists.
If you would like to request flyers to post at your institution,

Thank you.
