Range of the program
Address
The East-Central European School in the Humanities was founded in 1996 in the framework of Polish-Ukrainian university cooperation. Its long-term goal is to create a network of co- organizers, which would include also Baltic States, Belarus (depending on the political situation), Bulgaria and other countries of Eastern and Central Europe.
The uniqueness of the idea of the School liesin its program range that includes the entire cultural heritage of the Region, with particular emphasis on Mediterranean traditionsas roots of its culture. Great importance is being attached to enabling the students to attain a perception of their own identity within the context of the ethnic, religious and historical traditions of the region.
The purpose of the School is to disseminate modern theories and methodologies in the humanities and, primarily, to support the development of a new generation of scholars in disciplines particularly neglected in East-Central Europe (mainly in the areas of the former Soviet Union) and fundamental for the revival of the humanities. This task entails training specialists in paleography and editorial techniques, archive studies, classical languages, Hebrew, Old Russian, etc. The essential goal is to create an international and interdisciplinary community, capable of effective scholarly cooperation, and thus to eliminate the existing vacuum that risks to be filled with an ideology of primitive nationalism and ethnocentric delusions.
MSH is one of the very few international programs addressed to humanists and the only one, which is focused on the Mediterranean tradition of the region. Law, economy, business, administration, and the applied social sciences dominate curricula supported by the European Community in this region of Europe. Yet the humanities remain particularly significant because of the need for consolidating intellectual communities for leadership in civic society. These communities are vitally important in promoting an understanding for traditions anddeveloping historical memory that shape public opinion in their respectivecountries.
The role of public intellectuals in this partof Europe needs to be thoroughly reevaluated by a new cohort of young people whose humanities education has been until now neglected. In civic society, it is difficult to overestimate the value of teaching in the spirit of artes liberales, addressed to diverse multi-ethnic andmultinational communities, whose members will subsequently return totheir respective countries to take up posts as professors and heads oflibraries, archives and museums, to work in mass media and participatein public life.
MSH wants to promote and test this kind of sorely needed liberal arts education in the region of Central and Eastern Europe.
The School was intended mostly for doctoral
students and post doctoral university staff chosen by way of
competitionamong candidates from all countries of East-Central Europe.
Moreover,MSH students can be recruited from among:
The
fundamental principles of East-Central European School in the
Humanities include individual construction of interdisciplinary
curricula and tutorial assistance (each MSH student is supervised by a
tutor -a prominent specialist- selected by him/herself). Students are
supposed to combine learning with an active pursuit of research in teams.
The staff of the School is composed of specialists from cooperating universities and academies of sciences, and visiting professors from Western Europe and the United States.

The major objective of this first part of theprogram was to establish contacts, gather staff and examine certain elementsof the didactic program. The sessions were held in Lviv and Warsaw (4 weeksin Ukraine and 9 weeks in Poland) and attended by 75 students. Half of theparticipants came from Ukraine, the others were from Poland, Belarus, Moldovaand Bulgaria. The Pilot Program was to test the model of type-A session (longsession of approx. 6-8 weeks).

A set of 10 interdisciplinary seminars and 5 types of weekly,one-field seminars were accessible during the sessions. The main themes concernedphilology, history, anthropology, cultural studies and ethnography. Additionally,the curriculum included courses of auxiliary sciences and classical language courses. The Program was supported by Báthory Foundation.
Its objective was to work out and test a complete MSH program offer, to establish rules of international cooperation, and to elaborate frame programs of sessions of different types (A,B, C, D, E) so that long-term study cycles along with an enrollment system might be constructed.
