The school will take place in the charming town of Brixen-Bressanone, near Bozen-Bolzano in South Tyrol at the heart of the
Dolomites - the pink mountains of the Alps. Brixen-Bressanone, a bishop's
residence, is distinguished by its mediaeval Gothic architecture. Here
you can still breathe the atmosphere of an academic, theological
tradition that has lasted for centuries and today the city also houses
the Faculty of Education of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, and
a branch of the University of Padua. Like Bozen-Bolzano,
Brixen-Bressanone has always been a crossroads of various
cultures. Since the end of the Second World War Brixen-Bressanone has
experienced a spurt in economic growth while consolidating its
artistic and cultural vocation. Delegates who come to study here will
find a comfortably-sized town of about 18,000 inhabitants, free of
traffic problems. The mediaeval alleys and the wealth of historical
references are an ideal starting point for excursions into the
countryside and for practising a whole variety of sports and leisure
activities. Leaving directly from the town centre delegates can set
off on their bikes or on foot for excursions into the surrounding
hills and mountains; a good example of a fine place for walking and
biking is the Plose mountain, easily accessible by public transport,
and which in the winter months becomes a favourite area for skiing and
snowboarding. Brixen-Bressanone is on the main arterial road between
Austria/Germany and Italy and it is easily accessible from everywhere
by train, car, bus or plane.
