For seven days, participants will be offered both theoretical courses and interactive debates on issues regarding the relations between majority and minority, and field applications in the Transylvanian area. The activities will include visits to settlements and regions with wide ethno-religious diversity, and also to some traditional Romanian, Hungarian, German or Roma communities. The Summer School has on its programme visits to specific Transylvanian objects of cultural heritage [from churches and monasteries of wood, and stone, to the fortresses (Sighisoara, Râşnov, Deva), castles, palaces (Bran Castle, Peleş - The Romanian Kings' Castle of Sinaia, but also to touristic sites like the Palace of the "Roma International King" Cioaba of Sibiu), the museum of Transylvanian villages (ASTRA Folk Civilisation Museum in Sibiu), and so on].
