Description of the Summer School
The Solidarity Summer School is an international education programme, offered to both Polish and foreign students. Each edition is composed of five days of classes. The Summer School's online presence will enable it to be available to a broad audience – allowing the lessons of the Polish experience of Solidarity to be shared further. Throughout the course of the Summer School, students will encounter philosophical thought and the Polish experience of "Solidarity".
The Polish Solidarity experience is one of the most well-known contributions of Polish culture to the heritage of humanity. Participants in the summer school will learn about the historical and philosophical background of Solidarity. They will consider to what extent it is an element of European identity. Furthermore, students will discuss the potential for transferring the Polish Solidarity experience to other countries and cultures.
Classes will be conducted remotely in the form of lectures and workshops in small groups. The team of internationally recognized professors and experts will conduct classes on topics such as:
- the history of the idea of solidarity against the background of the economic changes of the 19th and 20th centuries ,
- the ethics of solidarity in Poland and their historical development by Pope John Paul II and Józef Tischner.
- Solidarity in Europe,
- Solidarity as a response to problems arising from the globalisation of the economy and socio-cultural life,
- The possibility of deepening and creatively developing the concept of solidarity
- applying the Polish experience of solidarity to global problems.
