In 2025, it will be 105 years since the Constitutional Assembly of Latvia convened for its first session on 1 May. Therefore, the summer school will be organised with the aim of showing Latvia’s complex path to an independent democratic state, while highlighting Latvia as a part of the European political and cultural space. The organisers of the school propose to consider Latvia’s path to a democratic state from the perspective of history, culture and media literacy:
a) Development of the idea of parliamentarism;
b) Parliamentarism and issues of national self-identification;
c) Subjects of parliamentarism from the Middle Ages to the present day;
d) Manifestations of parliamentarism in art and culture;
e) Intercultural communication and media literacy;
f) History, social media and media literacy;
g) Media literacy and educational innovations.
