Viadrinicum 2025 "Urban Dis/locations. Ruptures and Reimaginations"
16 – 31 August 2025

Viadrinicum is an annual summer school at the European University Viadrina
in Frankfurt (Oder), devoted to the countries of the Eastern Partnership
and the larger context of Central and Eastern Europe. Building on the
discussions around the notion of learning city during the previous
editions, in 2025 the school will focus on the ruptures in the urban
fabric, both as the effects of (historical) negligence and abandonment, and
as the traces of emancipatory disruptions in the established order of
things.

It invites students, young researchers, civil society activists, artists
and cultural workers to critically interrogate the (institutional)
foundations of the city as a contested entity in-the-making, shaped by
regimes of urban planning and governance, property relations and dwelling
practices. Guided by the spirit of tactical urbanism and participatory
pedagogics, the school will look into the ways how alternative futures
(re-)emerge through the (invisible) cracks of the city, aided by contingent
spatial imaginations and the acts of collective un-/inter-weaving.

Following the idea of experiential learning, a combination of academic and
nonacademic formats will allow the participants of the school to actively
explore the possibilities for a dialogue between different kinds of
knowledge from academia, civil society and the arts.

In a more practical sense, the school offers opportunities for applied
experimentation in the setting of a participatory urban intervention
engaging local communities in the heart of the German-Polish twin city
Frankfurt (Oder)-Słubice. This happens in the frame of three lab.workshops
(Doc.Lab, Makers.Lab, Planners.Lab), where the participants will be able to
develop their own small (team) projects with the assistance of facilitators
from the respective fields.

Besides that, the school‘s programme features round tables with researchers
from the Centre for East European and International Studies (ZOiS, Berlin),
film screenings, public events, and Open Space sessions, where participants
will have a chance to discuss their own academic, civic, artistic or
cultural work.

Successful applicants will be able to receive a travel scholarship.
Accommodation costs will be covered by the organisers.

You can apply if you meet the following requirements:

• You are a student, a PhD candidate, an (NGO) activist or an artist up to
35 y/o;

• You have a genuine interest in transsectoral and transdisciplinary
approaches to the topics of the school;

• Your knowledge of English is sufficient to take an active part in
discussions.

You can apply online here <https://form.typeform.com/to/ayERrorf>.

The summer school Viadrinicum 2025 is organized in cooperation with the
Centre for East European and International Studies (ZOiS, Berlin) and
supported by the Eberhard-Schöck-Stiftung, Baden-Baden.
