Summer School

The Summer School bring together people from the Caucasus, Central Europe, and beyond—individuals who represent their own “small centers of the world.” These gatherings are a space for sharing experiences, exchanging ideas, and seeking new, inspiring solutions in the field of culture, education, and community work.

Participants have the unique opportunity to learn from Borderland Foundation team experiences and practices and to reflect together on how to build bridges between local work and global challenges. It's also a chance to observe firsthand how the Borderland Foundation—a small center itself—navigates complex cultural landscapes.

The Summer School fosters long-term cooperation, encourages joint future planning, and strengthens a network of people who believe that change can begin from your own community and place.
