Summer Schools
As part of its educational activities, the Institute of Media and Journalism (IMeG) offers the summer schools listed below.
Documentary Summer School
The Institute organises the annual Documentary Summer School in collaboration with the Locarno Film Festival. The programme aims to encourage exchanges and highlights possible synergies between the academic and film communities by engaging participants in a dialogue with international film scholars and filmmakers on topics concerning both theoretical reflection and creative practice.
Europe-China Dialogue: Media and Communication Studies Summer School
The Europe-China Dialogue: Media and Communication Studies Summer School, promoted by the China Media Observatory (CMO), aims to bring together scholars from different cultures to shed light on contemporary issues in (and not limited to) media, communication, political economy and cultural studies. As the fast-changing world is reshaped by the digitalization of the media sphere, scholars in Europe and China are facing the same challenges posed by the new information world that is full of misinformation, radical emotions, fragmented knowledge and deep uncertainties. The Summer School wishes to provide a platform linking scholars from the two great civilizations in order to foster the generation of new ideas or solutions for a better global communication exchange under the framework of Europe-China Dialogue.
