RUTGERS UNIVERSITY
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2007

PRESENTATION:
The 2007 “Teach Europe” day at Rutgers will focus on the theme chosen by the Center for European Studies for its AY 2007-2008 activities, “The European Village”.

During the first stage of the project, now completed, Honors students were sent to visit seven different villages, and asked to shoot video footage there. The villages in question were Chitterne, England; La Guiche, France; Monteriggioni, Italy; Opatów (old Jewish name: Apt), Poland; Lovrenc, Slovenia; Siete Aguas, Spain; and Ardez, Switzerland. DVDs have been edited out of the footage, one DVD per village.

The Rutgers “Teach Europe” day will consist of four workshops held in the morning and one roundtable in the afternoon. The workshops will focus on one village each, and will include the screening of the relevant DVD.
