The 2022 Summer School “Between State and Civil Society: Who Protects Individual Liberties and Human Dignity” is organized by Reset DOC in collaboration with the Department of Asian and North African Studies at the University of Ca’ Foscari.
Through its lectures, workshops, and the Seminars, the Summer School will aim to address the challenges faced by civil society in the current post-pandemic context with rising costs and inequality. What are different actors’ responsibilities towards their citizens, and do they have obligations to guarantee and maintain their protections.
Structure: The Summer School is structured in lectures and workshops. All enrolled students are going to be assigned to one of three workshops. In the workshops, students discuss and elaborate on one specific issue of the overall topic and prepare a short presentation on the last day of the Summer School.
