Format: In-person
Open to: Master's students
Arqus invites Master’s students to apply for the Spring School “Dissonant Heritage, Contested Landscapes and European Identity”, an intensive academic programme examining how contested pasts are embedded in European landscapes and how they continue to shape contemporary identities.
Bringing together students from across the Arqus Alliance, the Spring School will focus on post-authoritarian, post-socialist and post-Holocaust contexts. Through interdisciplinary perspectives, participants will explore the political, social and ethical challenges involved in addressing difficult heritage and confronting complex historical legacies.
The programme is hosted by Vilnius University’s Faculty of History and the (Post)Authoritarian Landscapes Research Centre. It combines keynote lectures, site-based fieldwork, guided tours, and interactive workshops designed to foster critical thinking and collaborative exchange.
This initiative is open to Master students in Heritage Studies, History, Humanities and Social Sciences from Arqus partner universities.
