Getting ready for an exciting journey! 🌏

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Amisha Jain, Head of the Regional Office – India & South Asia, for a preparation meeting with the students who will participate in the Summer School in Pune, India this October.

The session offered valuable insights into the academic program, intercultural exchange, and what participants can expect during their time in India.

A big thank you to Dr. Amisha Jain for sharing her expertise and inspiring our students. We can’t wait to follow their journey! 🇮🇳🎓

Geographies of Cultural Coexistence

The venue is wheelchair accessible and the lecture will be held in spoken English. Die Vorträge werden in die Deutsche Gebärdensprache übersetzt.

Music repertoires can illuminate past and present forms of cultural coexistence across present state borders. Drawing on musicological and cultural-historical perspectives, this presentation asks whether reviving such musical repertoires from eastern Spain can help advocate for shared histories that transcend national narratives. The discussion situates the idea of revitalization within broader debates on cultural practices between the Global South and North. In so doing, this presentation highlights the potential of musical heritage to foster collective memories of coexistence and intercultural dialogue in cultural history.
