Croatia: Heritage Conservation and Classical Civilization The cultural heritage of a nation, of a people, encompasses both past and present, the tangible and intangible. It is reflected in ancient monuments and contemporary art, in medieval street patterns and modern architecture, in traditional foods and the latest fashion in music. Cultural heritage is complicated, and so are nations. The Croatia Maymester Abroad is an exploration of the cultural heritage of Croatia, its storied past, its exciting present, and most importantly, its people.
This program utilizes an interdisciplinary approach to exploring heritage built around the intersection of art, classical civilization, and historic preservation. Courses will be taught by UGA faculty from the Franklin College Classics Department and the College of Environment and Design. There will be a focus on student fieldwork, and the active exploration of Croatian culture and heritage. Students will also enjoy considerable engagement with Croatian scholars and students from Croatian universities, and a wide range of Croatians actively involved in culture and the arts.
