Exchange programs aim to strengthen cooperation among higher education institutions and bring together different cultures on a shared academic and social platform.At Osmaniye Korkut Ata University, the exchange programs coordinated by the Office of International Relations include a variety of activities and projects such as student, academic staff, and administrative staff exchanges, joint seminars and conferences, collaborative courses, and the organization of multidisciplinary events.

Within our department, the Erasmus and Mevlana programs are implemented as part of international exchange initiatives. Our students, academic staff, and administrative personnel can benefit from these exchange opportunities offered by our university.

Our faculty supports the international mobility of outgoing and incoming students, academics, and staff through these programs.

WHAT IS ERASMUS?

Established in 1987, the program is a European funding initiative that offers university students the opportunity to study or complete an internship abroad in another country for a period ranging from at least two months to a maximum of twelve months per academic cycle. Erasmus+ now also provides opportunities beyond the borders of Europe. Higher education students may participate in Erasmus+ study or placement programs after completing their first academic year, and there is no age limit for participation.

Who is Desiderius Erasmus?

Desiderius Erasmus, who lived between 1466-1536, was an important master of the Northern European Renaissance, a classical literature researcher, a humanist scholar and theologian. Known today as one of the creators and greatest representatives of the humanism movement that emerged with the Renaissance, Erasmus of Rotterdam was born in 1465 in Rotterdam, Netherlands. After a period of education equivalent to today's secondary education, he entered the Augustinian order and became a priest. However, he was never able to act as a priest in the traditional sense; he received permission from the religious authorities to "not wear a cassock" on the grounds that he wanted to devote himself more to science. He attended the University of Paris. When he went to England in 1499, he met intellectuals such as John Colet and Thomas More (Morus), and his horizons expanded even further with these friendships.

 

He opposed the hegemony established by the papacy over ideas and sought the true Christian spirit in the simplicity of antiquity. He considered the spread of fine arts and sciences and the unification of Europe under a common understanding of art and science as the first condition of humanism. He made great contributions to the spread of ancient thought in Europe with his original works and translations. When Martin Luther's reforms began, he agreed with the view of the renewal of the church, but he strongly opposed the Christian world being dragged into chaos and disintegration. When he died in Basel in 1536, he had gained such a respected place in the intellectual life of Europe that even the popes visited him. Erasmus, who spoke and wrote in Latin throughout his life, said his last words in his native language before he died: "Lieve God"

 

The Ode to Madness (originally: Morias enkomion seu laus stultitiae) is the only work of Erasmus that has retained its vitality, relevance and charm to this day. Erasmus drafted this small book in the summer of 1509, during his journey from Italy to England, and wrote it shortly after arriving in England, at the home of his friend Thomas More, to whom he dedicated the book. Erasmus completed his work in just a few days, and did not make use of any books in the meantime.
Erasmus' Thought Structure and Works

There are two basic views that dominate the humorous genre. According to one of them, true wisdom is madness. According to the other view, considering oneself wise is true madness. What gives a person the power to live on earth is madness itself, with its quality of being truly wise. In the book, madness (stultitia) sings its own praises; in the meantime, it is shown how madness always prevails in childhood and old age, in love, marriage and friendship, in politics and war, in literature and science.

All areas of interest, especially the religious institution and the clergy, are displayed within this panorama. Under the guise of making madness speak, Erasmus directs the most ruthless criticisms at the church of his time and its members. In this respect, "In Praise of Madness" has become one of the most competent masterpieces written against bigotry throughout the ages.
