Student sessions
There is a session planned for Student talks, Poster session, Lightning talks, training on debating and debate itself. The main aim of these activities is to get students actively involved in shaping the summer school. We hope that these sessions give them a possibility to improve their skills in presenting their topic, managing daily tasks more effectively, and sharing the most important information with each other.
Social activities
One of the most valuable resources in life is the network of contacts you have! Thus, we have organised some social activities to stimulate mingling, getting to know each other, and exchanging your ideas. You can visit an adventure park or play mini-golf on Tuesday and join sauna daily.
