The participants are junior, senior, or graduate students and recent graduates but they are also young scholars or entrepreneurs. They usually describe it as a week which had a tremendous impact in their intellectual life and which has proved helpful for careers in academies, law, journalism, and other idea-oriented fields. It is also a great experience from a personal point of view, since for a week, students and faculty members, coming from everywhere in the world, get to live together, to speak and to debate. They get to learn from each other and are in contact with different cultures, education and ways of life. The seminars offer interdisciplinary introduction to the tradition of classical liberal thought scolarship.
Subjects covered include economics, history, moral and political philosophy, law, jurisprudence.
The main aim is to approach these fields from a liberal point of view. The seminars are an unique opportunity to boost your understanding of the classical liberal principles of individual rights, private property, and free markets and their applications on today's issues. A traditional Europe and Liberty seminar lasts 6 days from Sunday to Saturday. The day is divided into 3 sessions of lecture, discussion groups and discussions with the speaker. Every session lasts 2 hours and is followed by a coffee break, lunch or dinner.
