Dubrovnik

Term: Summer 
Dates: June 19 - July 3 (2 weeks)

Description: Coastal Dubrovnik, an ancient walled town on the Adriatic Sea, traces its founding to eighth-century Romans. Today, it is a fascinating city where citizens actually feel the future being forged. In the middle Ages, Mediterranean Dubrovnik was the center of Croatian culture and literature. With much of its medieval architecture remaining, and with picturesque sidewalk cafes, Dubrovnik radiates still the distinctive charm of old Europe 'attracting vacationers from throughout the region. In this region, thirty years ago, Florida State University established an educational linkage with Yugoslavia. The link grew into a nine-university consortium to explore issues in Southeast Europe. It continues today, as the former Yugoslavia and other Balkan nations find themselves in the direct path of democratic and free-market movements from Czech and Hungarian regions. This study program is an exceptional opportunity for participants' working within an international scholarly enclave'to learn about, analyze, and discuss both the region's cultural-historical background and its contemporary political issues of transition and security.

Highlights: Classes, taught by faculty from FSU and prominent regional European universities, will meet for approximately half the day. Students will enjoy use of the facilities of the Inter-University Centre. Program excursions will include trips to coastal islands, where monasteries have existed for as long as two millennia. Program participants will look out over the azure Adriatic waters from their popular vacation hotel. Breakfast is included.
