The International Study Project 2015 to Cyprus includes the following goals:
- The students gain a deep insight into the complex topic of the Cyprus conflict.
- They are sensitized to political issues and can understand and objectively assess the various views and motivations of the political actors in Cyprus.
- They not only have the opportunity to go on a study trip but also to actively participate in its form and implementation, thus gaining practical experience in co-organizing a project.
These goals are achieved by holding two preparatory workshops in April and July, which serve to generate the essential background knowledge on the origins of the conflict for the 10-day study trip from 28.08-06.09. After returning, the findings will be evaluated in a plenary discussion in October and, with the well-founded knowledge, possible future scenarios for the island will be sketched out.
