Canadian Studies Centre has now been moved to its new location at Aarhus University, and our library has reopened.

Due to administrative changes at Aarhus University Canadian Studies Centre is moving to a new location. Therefore, we have been forced to close the library for a few weeks, but as soon as the centre has been relocated, the library will open again.

“Thinking Canada” is an initiative of the European Network for Canadian Studies – a four-week study tour to Canada for European students that will take place from 4 September to 2 October 2011, followed for selected participants by two-month internships. The tour to Canada commences with three days of briefings in Brussels on the EU and EU-Canada relations.
The aim of the study tour is to offer its participants a unique in-depth experience of Canada through an intensive programme of visits to major private and public institutions, government bodies, think tanks and NGOs. At each place, the students will receive briefings and have the opportunity to exchange views with representatives of these bodies, many of them leading experts in their fields. The tour will begin in Brussels, and travel to Ottawa, Québec, Montréal, Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria.
This immersion in Canada will offer a unique opportunity for an academic experience in a non-academic setting. The tour is focused on a number of themes, in particular cultural diversity (including the English/French relationship, the First Nations and multiculturalism), political issues (federalism, regionalism, the role of government), the environment (including Arctic issues), urban issues and economic topics (business, finance, trade). EU-Canada relations will also be covered and provide a recurring backdrop to the discussions. Two European academic advisors will be accompanying the tour to serve as resource persons and provide feedback.
In addition to the tour, eight two-month internships will be offered to participants immediately following the end of the tour.
For further information on the tour, its programme, internships, cost and how to apply, see the tour’s website at www.thinking-canada.eu.
