Summer School on Human Rights, Minorities and Diversity Management
Focus 2014: Political Participation
23 June 2014 – 02 July 2014
Bozen/Bolzano (I) – St. Moritz (CH)
www.eurac.edu/summerschool
The 2014 edition of the Summer School on Human Rights, Minorities and
Diversity Management explores the theme of political participation,
with a focus on national minorities, indigenous peoples and migrants.
It introduces participants to the standards, laws and institutions
that support the participation of minority groups. Participants will
critically examine their effectiveness, and assess what alternative
tools and strategies are available to members of a minority seeking
political participation. They will also discuss the important question
why persons belonging to minorities, unlike those belonging to the
majority, should have special rights to guarantee their participation,
as required by a number of international and regional instruments.
Selected topics:
- Established and innovative forms and instruments of political
participation for national minorities, migrants and indigenous people
- Direct democracy and its implications for minority groups
- Political participation of right wing and populist parties in
democratic states as a challenge for minority groups
Participants: The summer school is open to 25-30 students, young
researchers, civil servants, politicians, activists and journalists.
Tuition fee: €305 including course material and lunch. 5 Scholarships
available.
Registration deadline: 10 April 2014
