More information about the event as well as online application for students can be accessed here. It is also possible to apply for scholarships! One of the organizators of BISS 2008 has created a blog, where everyone is welcome to ask questions and comment.
Last summer, I was the participant of Baltic International Summer School 2007, the topic of the summer school was "The Future of Public Communication in the Age of New Media" and lecturers from the Baltics, Europe and the United States lead different classes and workshops. Dr. Cindy Price, lecturer at the University of Wyoming Department of Communications (United States), Mr. Richard Lining, Board Member of IPRA (United Kingdom), Janis Garancs, artist of multimedia (Latvia, Germany), Lauris Liberts, founder of internet portal ”Draugiem.lv” (Latvia) were only a few among the 16 lecturers and instructors.
After lectures students also had an opportunity to participate in practical hands-on workshops and produce a web site about the future of communication. Also various social activities were scheduled, for instance, field trips, sports evening, Baltic film evening, folk dance evening and international food party, also a visit to the Riga Gulf to experience the beauty of the Baltic coastline. We had an opportunity to participate in European Information Day, organized in conjunction with European Parliament Information Office in Riga. Participants could acquaint themselves about the communication issues of the European Parliament, meet members of the European Parliament and independent European issues expert. This was really my Absolutely Best Summer! Here's a video!
