Financial Funding Received for Organizing Summer School 2024
In the annual State Education Development Agency of Republic of Latvia summer
school project contest Daugavpils University Centre for Latvian Studies was
granted financial support for organization of Latvian language and culture
summer school in 2024 with the programme “Latvia’s Cultural Canon”.
Summer schools promote Latvian language, culture, history and education, as well as raise Latvia's recognition abroad and promote cooperation between Latvia and foreign countries.
In the 2024 competition 11 applications have been received from Latvia's highest education institutions, many of which have been developed in very good quality, so the application evaluation commission decided to support seven summer schools, each granting 10 scholarships intended to cover expenses of foreign students and academic staff. The amount of the summer school scholarship shall be EUR 1000 per participant of the summer school for the duration of the summer school.
Summer School “Latvia’s Cultural Canon” aims to raise awareness of the concept of cultural canon, its adaptation to the evaluation and classification of cultural phenomena. It focuses on Latvia’s cultural canon as a tool for institutionalising cultural values. The programme offers integrated learning of Latvian cultural canon values and Latvian language skills at A1 level.
The School will be coordinated by Daugavpils University Centre for Latvian Studies
This projected is funded with support from State Education Development Agency of the Republic of Latvia.
