3rd International Winter School LABEX item

Laboratorio di storia delle Alpi

Start date: 4 April 2018

End date: 7 April 2018

Monte Carasso

The third edition of the International Winter school takes place in Monte-Carasso (Switzerland).
What could be more natural than inviting young researchers from «mountain studies » in this area at the crossroads of the Alpine routes ?
This privileged place will give us the opportunity to talk about mountains and heritage, but also to evoke another reality in Ticino : the reality of the border. Viewed from Ticino, the Alps are both a bridge between North and South of Europe for European citizens, but also an obstacle for refugees (see map below). The winter school will open on this topic with the conference of Cristina Del Biaggio, associate-professor at the University of Grenoble-Alpes.
