Join our live stream (Zoom) of this special event by the ValEUs network!
Dr. Nina Sajic (University of Banja Luka) and Dr. Ayhan Kaya (İstanbul Bilgi University) will discuss a specific dimension of European values: the handling of conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
The speakers will elaborate on the role of the EU in these regions, focusing on the question of to what extent the EU lives up to the values it promises in its founding documents.
This ValEUs Panel Discussion is organised as part of Prof. Timm Beichelt’s seminar “Which values/valEUs is the European Union based on?” at European University Viadrina.
The seminar aims to convey insights and perspectives from the global research and education network to Viadrina students and to encourage their input along the network’s central themes and questions through the network’s key initiative of “ValEUs Student Policy Briefs”. The Viadrina is delighted to strengthen its participation in this network initiative through a local partnership with the Europäische Akademie Berlin.
The event is organised in cooperation with the Institute for European Studies of the European University Viadrina (IFES).
