Szkoła Letnia Tertio Millennio w Krakowie


W dniach 27 czerwca - 14 lipca 2011 w Krakowie, organizowana jest jubileuszowa, 20-ta Szkoła Letnia Tertio Millennio Seminar on The Free Society. Tematem Szkoły jest analiza wybranych zjawisk społecznych i politycznych towarzyszących współczesnej demokracji. Do udziału w Szkole zaproszeni są studenci i doktoranci z Polski i państw Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej, w tym z Litwy. Termin rekrutacji mija 22 maja. Formularz aplikacyjny oraz dokładne informacje znajdują się na stronie www.seminar.tertio.pl.
Each year's seminar class includes 10-12 North American students and 20-25 students from Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, Ukraine, and other new democracies. While the North American contingent has normally been composed of graduate students and young professionals, accomplished juniors and seniors working on bachelor's degrees relevant to the purposes of the seminar may also apply. The program is conducted in English.

The Tertio Millennio Seminar on the Free Society was founded in 1992 by Michael Novak, Rocco Buttiglione, Father Richard John Neuhaus, Father Maciej Zieba, OP, and George Weigel to deepen the dialogue on Catholic social doctrine between North American students and students from the new democracies of central and eastern Europe.The seminar is built around an intense study of John Paul II's 1991 encyclical Centesimus Annus, supplemented by readings from the classics of American political theory and contemporary articles. Following the lead of Centesimus Annus, the seminar explores the "free society" as composed of three interlocking systems: a democratic polity, a free economy, and a vibrant public moral-culture. With Pope John Paul II, we lay the greatest stress on the third system, the moral-cultural system, taking up such issues as religious freedom, ecumenism, Christian-Jewish dialogue, and the "culture of life."

Why it is worth participating?
