On behalf of Bridge Education Abroad Institute (BEAI), I am writing to you today to inform you about our summer program in Kosovo.  Our institute plans short programs all across the world, providing students with unique opportunities to experience different political cultures while strengthening their leadership and diplomacy skills. Our programs draw a diverse group of students together from all over the world(20+ countries) to discuss pressing global issues while exchange cultural values. In a rapidly globalizing world, we believe these experiences are invaluable to the success of students in the global job market.

Our programs differ from the traditional semester or yearlong study abroad programs in that ours are about two weeks long. Many busy students who cannot arrange long trips abroad will find that our programs present an opportunity for international experiences they before could not schedule.

For the summer of 2013, we have one program scheduled in Gjilani, Kosovo during the dates July 9 – 19, 2013. This program will include lectures from experienced professors and guest speakers from all over the globe. A few of our professors include:

·         Dr. Erin Jenne- published author and professor at Central European University

·         Professor Elizabeth Merurico- Phd candidate at Georgetown University, USA

·         Dr. Remijze Istefi- Current Professor at University of Prishtina

The students will enrich their knowledge of Kosovo’s history, politics, and economics, and culture of other participant’s nations while also enjoying travel to famous and historic places. The Kosovo Program includes:

·         A Tour of Parliament

·         Field Trips to Peja City, Mirusha Falls, Prizren city and more.

Even with the summer close at hand, there are still plenty of students still figuring out their plans for the upcoming break. We hope you will consider recognition of our institute as an option for your students who are looking for international opportunities. We would greatly appreciate if you can pass the information about our program on to your students. If you believe you have students at your university that would be interested in this unique opportunity, please inform them to contact us via info@beainstitute.org. Please know our admissions deadline is May 15th. 

Thank you very much for your support, and to find more information about our program, you may visit www.beainstitute.org
