Course objectives
In recent years, the slogan of the “New Silk Road” has shaped not only the international relations of the PRC in particular with its neighboring countries and Europe, but also the dialogue among different civilizations. In fact, the “Silk Road” was and is a place for economic diffusion, cultural exchange and transfer, and in the course of exchange, a spirit of mutual respect was/is fostered and the population along the “Silk Road” was/is engaged in a common endeavour to pursue prosperity.
This course on the historical as well as on the New Silk Road will focus on the “connectivity of the civilizations” along this trade route. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of the shared historical cultural heritage of the various involved ethnic groups.
