Structure of the workshop

A morning core lecture followed by direct question/answer session around the lecture itself. In the afternoon a different format – a series of four ‘seminars’ on ‘Cases and Issues’. I will take different types of heritage and present a short example. Then the students, having read some material will be expected to discuss the issues raised, the literature about these issues and suggest examples known to them from Estonia and elsewhere.
