From July 30th – August 7th, 2024, the FECCS is co-organizing The Nansen East-West Dialogue Academy (NEWDAY) 2024 to be held at the Nansen Academy in Lillehammer, Norway. The course will last 9 days and there will be different training programs as well as daily lectures by distinguished scholars.

The academy provides a unique opportunity to learn and debate about contemporary issues based on acquired knowledge of great Western and East Asian thinkers and humanitarians, presented by distinguished scholars from the Nordic region (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) and leading universities in the East Asian region (China, Japan and Korea) as well as from the rest of Europe and the USA.
