2020 Program cancelled
The 9th edition of LEARNING FROM THE LOCAL. Communities and Tribal People in Global Frames has been postponed until 2021 due to Covid-19 outbreak. The summer school originally meant in September requires the meeting of students and faculty from all over the world. As it is very uncertain that such a meeting can be organised this year as there are likely to be other priorities in September. We thank all the students enrolled so far and we hope to get the chance to meet you in 2021
