Doctorate students (10 in total) in Telč from 12-17 July 2015.

and ethnic haters, global and local conflicts, but also ideas of humanism, human rights and
democracy.

their own respective fields, who want to share their research findings with the like-minded peers
from the Central Europe and Israel.
