Laboratory | Memory and Media in the Western Balkans

Aula D, Palazzo Ca' Dottori

Scientific coordinator: Benedetto Zaccaria, University of Padova.

This 12hrs Lab aims at providing important insights on the everyday tasks of experts working for the think-tank Osservatorio Balcani Caucaso Transeuropa (OBCT) at the Centro per la Cooperazione Internazionale (CCI) in Trento (Italy). It will be focused on memory and media, as two of the most relevant issues in the current analysis of politics and society in Southeast Europe.

Students will be provided with theoretical and practical tools and will be required to test them. They will draft reports addressing specific case studies from various perspectives and with different approaches. At the end of the Laboratory, selected reports will be published on the website of OBCT.

Attending students will be granted an Open Badge on Communication and Advocacy, issued by the University of Padova.
