OCSEAN Summer School Tartu 2024 has brought together 48 participants from the Philippines, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Summer School in Tartu is part of OCSEAN capacity building, data collection and data analyses efforts. Despite the difficulties and challenges on the way, indigenous representatives, academics and cultural workers have arrived to Tartu from three different countries and four OCSEAN partner insititutions - Ifugao State Universtiy from the Philippines, Udajana University and Universitas Kristen Artha Wacana from Indonesia and University of Papua New Guinea from Papua New Guinea.
Organized by the University of Tartu Institute of Genomics, Summer School 2024 will focus on the Heritage Studies, disciplines of Folklore and Ethnobotany, then basic principles of Archaeogenetics. The major part of the Summer School will be dedicated to Linguistics - data curation, archiving and principles of analyses. The data has been collected by the participants during their fieldwork following the OCSEAN Linguistic Documentation Workshops in Indonesia and the Philippines in 2023.
Summer School will be concluded with the conference where Summer School Tartu 2024 participants, researchers from OCSEAN EU members and guests will present an update on the ongoing projects and look ahead for the joint analyses of the datasets.
Summer School starts with the Welcome Event in the University of Tartu Institute of Genomics. The first days of Heritage Studies are dedicated to getting to know Estonian cultural heritage and participants reflections on their discoveries of their own identity in the relation to the new culture.
