FACULTY OF HUMANITIES (FHS) History The Faculty of Humanities (FHS) is Charles University’s youngest faculty. Originally founded in the early 1990s as the Institute for Liberal Education, it was elevated to the rank of a faculty in 2000, the vision being that it would offer study programmes at the Bachelor, Master’s and PhD levels in various humanities and social science disciplines not yet established at CU. The FHS quickly gained a reputation as a progressive school with innovative study programmes and teaching methods. Mission The mission of the Faculty of Humanities is through high-quality education to endow students with the ability to lead a fulfilling life in this increasingly complex and changing world. Goals to provide education in the humanities and social sciences that meets the highest international standards; to achieve excellence in research and integrate it with education; to cultivate the ability of students to learn throughout life and encourage self-responsibility and a commitment to society; to promote the mobility of the FHS’s increasingly international student body and academic staff. Science and Research The Faculty of Humanities is dedicated to excellence in various areas of academic research. The faculty participates in international and national research projects and promotes young researchers’ academic development. Research at the Faculty of Humanities is supervised by the Department of Science and Research. The list of all research projects is available on the department’s website: http://fhs.cuni.cz/FHSENG- 367.html. Examples of the most important projects: Religious Cultures in Europe of the 19th and 20th centuries, prof. Miloš Havelka, CSc.

    Cultural Exchange at Charles University in Prague

    Cultural Exchange at Charles University in Prague Cultural Exchange at Charles University in Prague The 25th of April marked the third annual Cultural Exchange event hosted by the Catholic Theological Faculty of Charles University. The event, a student conference officially called “ Cultural Transfer. Art Exchange between Italy and Central Europe ”, was held at the main faculty building and saw a series of lectures given by post-graduates from various European universities. The lectures aimed to discuss the ways in which Italian art has, and continues, to influence European art, especially that of Central European countries. I was fortunate enough to speak with two of the organisers, Marie Opatrná and Magdalena Nová, who discussed how important it was for the students to have a chance to show case their research. They were also excited because although it was the third conference it was the first international event on this topic the faculty has held. Most of the students presenting lectures were from Charles University, but there was a mix of nationalities. From native Czech students to those who had come to Charles University from as far as Italy. There were also many other universities taking part who had sent students including University of Tor Vergata in Rome, University of Leipzig, University of Vienna, Masaryk University in Brno, Palacký University in Olomouc, University of Hradec Králové, University of Warsaw, University of Gdansk, University of Wroclaw, and Jagiellonian University in Cracow. The lectures were divided into four themes (Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, and Modern Art) which each had their own room. Each room had its own timetable of lectures which were delivered in the preferred language of the candidate, most being in Czech or English with a few excepts given in German or Italian.

The routes from the old Kingdom of Asturias were the first to take the pilgrims to Santiago. The coastal route was as busy as the other, older pilgrims’ ways long before the Spanish monarchs proclaimed the French Way to be the ideal route, and provided a link for the Christian kingdoms in the North of the Iberian Peninsula. This endorsement of the French Way did not, however, bring about the decline of the Asturian and Galician pilgrimage routes, as the stretch of the route from León to Oviedo enjoyed even greater popularity from the late 11th century onwards. The Northern Route is not a local coastal road for the sole use of the Asturians living along the Alfonso II the Chaste. shoreline. This medieval route gave rise to an Liber Testamenctorum (s. XII). internationally renowned current, directing Oviedo Cathedral archives pilgrims towards the sanctuaries of Oviedo and Santiago de Compostela, perhaps not as well- travelled as the the French Way, but certainly bustling with activity until the 18th century.
