Society and Religion: Ethnic groups, Identity and Nationalism

The main objective of the regional school is to shift the status quo concerning the civic perception of religious, national and cultural differences among the academic youth in the region.

The event is intended for young scholars and researches aged 18-28, whose educational background is related with the topic, in particular students of the faculties of theology, social and political sciences
