Description of the Honor Seminars:

1. “Changing the World through Negotiation”, SSE

June 26-29, Stockholm, Sweden

No specific pre-requisites for this seminar.

 The ability of future leaders to change the world is dependent upon their ability to lead and negotiate. Leadership and negotiation are integrally linked and can be seen as two sides of the same coin as effective leadership is dependent upon the leader's ability to negotiate on multi-levels with leaders negotiating both internally as well as externally.

Negotiation is an increasingly important soft-skill used during informal day-to-day interactions as well as formal negotiations with the latter important to achieving environmental and democratic objectives. Hence, the name of this honours workshop. Good negotiators skills are critical for mobilising organizations to change with leaders responsible for mobilising this effort. Like any other skill, your ability to perform in negotiations is determined by your formal training and experience. Thus, even if you some knowledge of negotiations, conducting exercises will provide an opportunity to further enhance try out and enhance your skills. This short intensive course will allow you to become a "Master Negotiator" in a responsible manner based upon learning from theory and practice as well as learning from each other.

3. „New Era of Europe” (contemporary economic relations in Europe), SGH

SGH, Warsaw, Poland, June 24-28.06.2024

The course will focus on contemporary economic relations in Europe. The pandemic and the war in Ukraine have unprecedentedly marked the forming international relations in both geopolitical and geo-economic contexts. The topics of the course include the contemporary conditions of economic cooperation between European countries and Europe with the rest of the world, analysis of past cooperation and its historical milestones, as well as the recently implied policies and formed economic ties within the EU and extra-EU.

 

4. “Roma European Rights and policies”, CEU

Vienna, Austria, 24-27.06.2024

Background: Master’s students should have good knowledge of English and ideally a policy/law background. Absence of such policy/law background can be compensated by proven work experience with Romani communities or study experience with Romani studies.

This honour seminar offers a deep dive into the realities and practice of Roma Rights and Policies in the European context. By zooming in on various institutions active within this geographical context, participants will learn about how the rights of Roma people, intended broadly (ie including individuals and groups as different as Roma, Sinti, Kale, Gitanos, Jenische, Gens du Voyage and Travellers) are individually and collectively protected, guaranteed and limited by various international actors.

Taking an institutional approach, the course will first look into the EU’s actions and case law in the domain, before moving to the Council of Europe level, where important treaties like the European Convention on Human Rights, the European Social Charter and the Framework Convention on National Minorities have offered more or less satisfying responses to human rights violations of various types. Last but not least, at the global level, different United Nations instruments have also been instrumental in furthering the rights of Roma, Sinti and Travellers in Europe.

This institutional and legal approach will be complemented with practical lectures looking at what happens on the ground via the Roma Civil Monitoring Program as well as with visits to international actors, such as the Fundamental Rights Agency in Vienna or the Organisation of Security and Cooperation in Vienna, who have also become active in the field.

The whole program will be complemented by various cultural and networking activities with social and/or cultural actors.

The honour seminar aims to provide participants with legal and policy knowledge to better understand the position of Roma in Europe. Moreover, through this concrete example, participants will learn how the multi-layer and actor framework of human rights protection functions and what its limits are. The program will equip participants with the knowledge, skills and values to understand issues faced by Roma and travelling communities as individuals and as a group, to analyze these issues through legal and policy lenses and to comprehend the multiple dimensions of Roma’s exclusion and marginalization in Europe.
