This summer school won't be organised in 2024.
Through different thematic foci, this annual summer school explores central aspects of Christian heritage.
The topics covered will range from movable heritage (visual and applied art, liturgical objects...) to immovable heritage (churches, monasteries, cathedrals...), and intangible heritage (customs, rituals, practices, beliefs, traditions, knowledge, etc.).
Through lectures but also a ‘hands-on' approach to written and printed sources, objects, images, and site visits, students will acquire insight not only into the complexity of the history of Christian beliefs and practices, but also challenges and questions related to its conservation and management.
