Related Projects
Summer term of the Jean Monnet course has been further developed within the Curriculum Development Competion (2004 -2005) that provided funding for a team project focussing on policies towards the Roma while allowing for a comparative approach within CEE: We hosted guest lecturers from Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and FRY. We also undertook an acedemic trip/ field research on the Roma past and present in Poland. Within the CDC CEU grant two lectures were given at Jagiellonian University in Kracow. In 2005 the summer term course was included the Course Portfolio Project at the CEU Budapest. In July 2006 we took part in the CEU SOTL Writing Residency organised in cooperation with the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.
Currently we are xeprimenting with blended education format using the Chales University e-learning environment (25 October 06).
Several students of the course took part in piloting of the INTER project focusing on educational policies. Examples of student contribution are available here.
The project coordinator also developed a course on Multiculturalism for the Institute of International studies, Department of European Studies.
The course has drawn from experience gained from earlier courses tought in Czech, on minorities and on the Roma, in 2001/2002, and a course for Anglo-American College in Prague in 2003. Student essays from the AAC course are available here.
Expertise gained from the development of the course has been used for other lectures, such as The Roma in the 21st Century Europe:the Case of Czech Republic, within the IFDS CIEE seminar on Challenges of "New Europe" within the EU: The Central European Perspective in June 2006, as well as other courses, such as Minorities in Europe at AAC in summer 2006.
