American University in Kosovo - AUK Summer Program

AUK Summer Program

AUK offers a summer program where undergraduate and graduate students learn about conflict management, reconstruction, humanitarian intervention, human rights, and other issues related to development in post-conflict societies. Students enrolled in the program have the opportunity to interact with international scholars, NGOs, diplomats, retired military personnel, peacekeepers, and others with experience in conflict transformations. The Program focuses on the background of the Kosovo conflict of the late 20th century wars across the region; the dynamic nature of security in the period following the fighting, and continuing challenges to conflict transformation and development.

Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or program:

    Does he lie there
    forever, where his rifle waits, giant
    and straight? . . . I think you die again
    and live again,
    Johnny, each summer that moves inside
    my mind.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    From a bed in this hotel Seargent S. Prentiss arose in the middle of the night and made a speech in defense of a bedbug that had bitten him. It was heard by a mock jury and judge, and the bedbug was formally acquitted.
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
