UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF CROATIAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE
 June 30 - July 27, 2001

The University of Zagreb is the oldest university in Croatia. It is one of
Europe's outstanding universities, well known for its academic expertise
and
tradition. It was established on September 23, 1669, by Leopold I, the
Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, who declared that the university statutes
and privileges are granted to the Jesuit Academy of the Free Royal City of
Zagreb. Today the University of Zagreb includes 29 faculties, three art
academies and several schools of higher education. Apart from the academic
program, the  Summer School covers a significant number of cultural
activities organized by the Croatian Heritage Foundation (introduction to
museums and galleries, theater productions, concerts, international
folklore
festival, meetings with famous artists and public personalities, visits to
various cultural and educational institutions, study trips to Croatian
Hinterland, etc.). All these activities are relevant to lessons and
class-work.
