What is Riga Summer School?

During the summer school small creative teams produce short films about various Riga neighborhoods. Films from previous years and other info can be viewed online.
What is expected of team members? The summer school is organized entirely by the students, who are responsible for marketing the event, inviting students from over the world, ensuring publicity before, during and after the event, organizing events, managing the practical organization, helping foreign students with their film projects and many other things.
