Ljubljana Summer Academy: Along the Danube - Between myths and moments

Under the guid­ance of Dr. Edit Kirá­ly from the Uni­versi­ty of Bu­dapest and Dr. Olivia Spiri­don from the Insti­tute of Dan­ube Swa­bian Histo­ry and Re­gional Stud­ies Tü­bing­en, par­tici­pants ex­plored lit­erary repre­senta­tions of both cen­tral hubs like Vien­na and pe­ripheral areas such as the sub­merged is­land Ada Kaleh.

MWP scholarship hold­er Mat­thias Laufhütte shared his per­sonal aca­demic jour­ney, which cul­min­ated in a virtu­al exhi­bition that is set to be per­ma­nently pub­lished on the Deutsche Digi­tale Bibli­othek (German Digi­tal Li­brary).

The pro­ject con­clud­ed with a digi­tal ver­nis­sage of the exhi­bition "Along the Dan­ube – Be­tween Myths and Mo­ments" in early 2025, show­cas­ing con­tribu­tions that re­flect the rich diver­sity of the Dan­ube through poet­ry, sto­ries, mem­ories, and travel re­ports.
