The annual UNESCO RILA Spring School: The Arts of Integrating will take place on 11-13 May 2022. The theme for this year “our shared values”.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about your own values and how they shape your identity, or identities?

The 2022 Spring School is linking with the Festival of Europe (FoE https://festivalofeurope.uk/), and is one of a series of interconnected events called The Summer of Europe taking place throughout the UK from May to September. FoE will be an opportunity to reflect upon, and will create a memorable experience of exploring, European identity.   

The UNESCO Chair is also partnering on The People's Global Summit (https://newecosocialworld.com/), an initiative seeking to shape a Global Values Declaration for a new eco-social world that will be delivered to the United Nations High-Level Political Forum in July 2022 and will create a catalyst for further global action. 

The Festival of Europe is to be a celebration of culture, values and hope. The People’s Global Summit seeks to co-build a conversation on the creation of globally shared values. 

We would like to draw out the concept of values a little further in the 2022 Spring School across our 3-day FREE interactive event. We are aiming for an in person event, but there will also be an online component. 

We now welcome proposals for contributions to the Spring School which respond to a number of provocations – we are open to most types of interaction!  

For full details of the call for proposals, themes and provocations please see our website, where you can also find details of previous Spring Schools.
