AUK's Summer Camp offers courses in Albanian language, history and culture to junior and senior students from high schools in Diaspora as well as in Kosovo. An excellent team of professionals have developed a curriculum for this purpose and students will have the opportunity to travel through Albanian history from Illyrians until the most recent events that have marked our history.
The aim of this program is to introduce these students to the foundations of the Albanian heritage through lectures in Albanian Language and Literature, Albanian History and Geography, Albanian Art (i.e. Visual Art, Music Folklore, etc.).
In addition students will have the opportunity to visit some of the most remarkable historical sites in Kosova and Albania. These visits are chosen to complement the curricula and will help students understand better the facts learned in the classroom.
At the end of program participants will receive a certificate of participation in this program.
