                               Nuremberg, Germany, June 10-13, 2010



Do you want to establish contacts with foreign students? Do you have interests in the mode of
teaching and learning at other universities? You are looking for linkages between sociological
theory and our daily life and you always wanted to participate in an international seminar abroad?
Then enjoy our German-Czech seminar at the University of Nuremberg!


The seminar brings together Czech and German students, who will discuss main sociological
approaches on the basis of current political and socio-economical events in German and Czech
society. In the first part of our seminar the students are supposed to prepare and present in teams
a sociological theory and to illustrate it with practical examples. The second part of the seminar
is devoted to open discussions: we will analyse some current situations and political events from
the different theoretical perspectives presented in the first part. During our seminar session we
will have enough time to get to know closely all participants in our joint breakfasts, lunches or
dinners and especially during our one-day trip in a city close to Nuremberg. All participants will
receive a certificate about work on sociological paradigms and training of key competencies.


The seminar organizers take over transport, accomodation, and catering costs. The seminar will be
in English. We look forward to see you in Nuremberg!  Ten czech persons can join the seminar -
