Now, this is not a 1st April joke, its official: the ISSP international summer school is moving to Kuldīga! Though it all happened a little suddenly, we are happy with the new situation. The new location, Pelči boarding school, is 4 km away from town, so we’ll keep all the intimacy of the campus. Kuldīga is a gem and a runner up UNESCO world heritage site, it will for sure charm everyone.
Besides, we will have a real castle all for ourselves - imagine ! :)
The ISSP 2011 applications will be launched on 7-8th of April!
We are excited to announce that from 15 - 21 March, Kuldīga will host the first session of the new ISSP International Masterclass. As part of the event, we invite you to attend an open evening programme of lectures and presentations, as well as a pop-up exhibition of the first results on March 21 at Kuldīga Arts House.
