About the program
Our program confronts students with the most important questions of our time. Does Belarus have cultural and historical subjectivity? Are we Europeans? And what to do with the historical layers, influences and artifacts of the past?
Based on the extensive material of the cultural heritage of Belarus and Europe, with the help of an international class of experts and partner organizations, we are preparing cultural managers – professionals of the future who understand cultural trends, know how to formulate ideas for popular projects and know where to find funds for them.
Our graduates are able to turn the burden of the past into a source of development. We learn to understand and integrate heritage into diverse contemporary contexts, exploring its economic, social and environmental potentials.
We sort out the conflicts of memory, identity and the salvation of endangered values. We will learn how heritage “works” in Vilnius, Florence, Paris and other European cities. Finally, we believe that conservation is impossible without creativity. For our students, heritage is a source of endless inspiration, so the program is interdisciplinary: theater, design and history – students
from different courses form teams and implement their own ideas. Join us!
Program features:
- Practical orientation of the program and annual field research in Vilnius, Florence, Amsterdam and other cities.
- Priority in developing professional skills.
- Opportunity to conduct your own research with the support of program experts.
- Two foreign languages – English and German.
- Opportunity to participate in international student exchange programs – Erasmus+, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), Bard College Network (USA).
