In a relaxed atmosphere in the middle of unspoiled nature or after watching a picturesque documentary, the Liberty Seminars offer participants guided discussions on various interesting topics.

I recommend the Liberty Seminars to all students of economics as well as political and other social sciences, young journalists, and other curious persons. This is a nice opportunity to expand your horizons, socialize and have fun at the same time. "

"Last fall a group of young, eager to learn individuals from all over the world gathered for a week-long seminar in the middle of beautiful Slovenian landscape with blue-colored lake Bohinj and Alpine mountains reaching to the sky.

The Liberty Seminar 2011 was a unique experience, giving me a quick though clear insight into political philosophy I have never encountered before. For many years I have been told and thought that individual's civil or economic activities/relations have to be somewhat regulated, no matter that such action infringes on individual's freedom. The Liberty Seminar introduced me to a true liberal (classical liberal or libertarian) thought, which primarily argues for individual liberty and responsibility. I am astonished that until attending the Liberty Seminar I have never encountered the liberal school of thought.

During the seminar I started asking myself whether it would be better to leave the economy alone (as liberals argue) and not impose "precautionary" government regulation on it. At the same time, I realized that there are other schools of thought about the economy and the role of the government in the society beside the one we were thought in school and which is blindly accepted by our government officials, media, etc. As such, I started seriously doubting that state regulation and interference with the economic activities of the individuals leads to the economic growth and prosperity.

The Liberty Seminars was a great springboard for how I am going to see things and relationships in the future. From now on I will definitely distinguish between a true liberal idea and the one pretending to be liberal."

"Society is not a collective entity, it is a unique heterogeneous combination of different individuals, with different ideas, different wishes, different values, but with the same rights. Liberty Seminar was an excellent opportunity to explore the importance of individual rights and to celebrate freedom."

"Beautiful alpine lake, in-depth discussions about liberty and economics, and of course, the great company of fellow scholars and students, what more could one ask? The Liberty Seminars are an amazing way to spend a week. The mixture of group outdoor activities and indoor discussions is stimulating for both the mind and body. Rather than dry lectures, the seminars are interactive presentations and exchanges among scholars and students, as well as among the students themselves.

The environment was incredibly conductive to debate and discussions. Dinners and lunches were generally informal, but engaging and presented an opportunity for participants to network. The diverse background and nationalities of students, and scholars, injected a variety of perspectives. I sincerely felt that I did as much learning as I did teaching. It was truly a rewarding and memorable experience.

Tanja, Catinca and Boris did an amazing job organizing the seminars."]]> 1321035064 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 11:11:04 -0700 http://www.liberty-seminars.org/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1320399942&archive=
"The Liberty Seminars which I was privileged to participate in this year quite honestly exceeded my expectations, and this despite the fact that I had already led one seminar the summer before.

This year's students were among the most motivated and intellectually curious that I have ever worked with, as evidenced by the spirited discussions that went on outside of class during meals, coffee breaks, and other social time. Particularly encouraging were the level of inquisitiveness displayed by a majority of the participants, which was almost unparalleled in my experience, and the sophistication of the questions they posed. It was a very cohesive and lively group, and the assistance and input of new staff member Catinca Hanganu was especially welcome.

In sum, this year's seminars were among the highlights of my teaching career so far. I only hope that the seminars of the future can live up to the same high standard."]]> 1320399942 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 02:45:42 -0700 http://www.liberty-seminars.org/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1320186276&archive=

"It was my honor and a privilege to participate for the second time at Liberty Seminars in Bohinj. I love lecturing at the Seminar, since participants are very knowledgable, and mostly, extremely curious, which ranks high in my books. Moreover, the topics discussed are close to my heart. Also, the organization and supporting activities are superb.
