- Higher education in the languages of traditional national minorities
plays
a decisive role in the maintenance of Europe's cultural heritage and
diversity and ultimately in the preservation of ethnic harmony. In
order
to study and share the achievements and practices of the universities
involved, the Bolyai Initiative Committee, along with other
institutions,
organizes a conference on this issue.
- Our aim is to initiate a comprehensive study and discussion, in order
to
spread the best practices available in this field. We would also like
to
explore why in some countries governments do not fulfill the aspiration
of
traditional national minorities for independent higher education
institutions.
- We would like to continue and to broaden the dialogue started at our
first, virtual conference. We intend to provide a forum to the
delegates
of the European national communities to analyze potential
problems in minority language higher education, and provide support for
disadvantaged minorities.
