Wintersession Workshop on Global Citizenship and Democracy

The Wintersession Workshop on Global Citizenship and Democracy is an initiative organized in partnership with the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES), the Center for Hellenic Studies (CHS), the Department of Government, the Harvard Foundation, and the Committee on Degrees in Social Studies. The workshop is designed to immerse participants in the study of transnational democratic politics from multiple disciplinary perspectives including history, political science, economics, and classics.

Funding for this workshop is made possible by a generous grant provided by Dr. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, an alumna of Harvard College, distinguished contributor to American public service, and eminent expert on Europe and international affairs.


Wintersession Workshop 2026

During the 2026 Wintersession Workshop, fifteen students engaged directly with experts at leading institutions in Washington D.C., including the American Enterprise Institute, the World Bank, and the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace, and Security. They also met with policymakers from the offices of Elizabeth Warren, Katherine Clark, and Jim McGovern, gaining insight into the realities of policy-making. Visits to the embassies of Greece, Italy, and Ukraine further deepened their understanding of diplomacy, democratic resilience, and U.S.–EU cooperation.
