We are pleased to announce Shared Campus International Summer Schools in 2024.
Five summer schools exploring different thematic fields—Pop Cultures, Arts & Ecologies, Socially Engaged Arts, Telematics, and Cultural Histories. These programmes offer participants a unique opportunity to collaborate and discover new perspectives within their own creative practices. An international team of lecturers accompany these explorations.
Beyond academic enrichment, these summer schools foster a vibrant environment for participants to forge friendships and expand their horizons.
Students of Shared Campus institutions are invited to apply. Please check within each summer school which institutions are supporting students participation.
