*MULTIMEDIA AND MAGAZINE STUDY-ABROAD PROGRAMS STILL ACCEPTING STUDENTS*
We still have a few openings for the summer multimedia programs in Perpignan, France and Urbino, Italy co-sponsored by San Francisco State University and the Institute for Education in International Media as well as a magazine internship program in Urbino. The applications can be found on the ieiMedia Web site http://ieimedia.com/ (http://www.ieimedia.com).
The programs are open to college students and recent graduates from all schools.
* * MULTIMEDIA: Urbino, Italy (June 3-July 2, 2010)* This picturesque Renaissance hill town is the capital of the Marche region, a beautiful but little-touristed region of Central Italy. The city’s impressive Ducal Palace houses one of the most important collections of Renaissance paintings in the world. Students study digital video, photography, blogging and reporting (as well as intercultural communication and Italian language) and produce a multimedia Web site about the town (see last year’s project at http://inurbino.net). Students will live and dine (most meals included) in a University of Urbino dormitory.
* * MULTIMEDIA/VIDEO: Perpignan, France (June 24-July 23, 2010) *Perpignan lies in the Languedoc region of southwestern France, 8 miles west of the Mediterranean Sea and 19 miles north of the Spanish border, within sight of the Pyrenees. The city features a charming, pedestrian-friendly historic quarter; a daily market; and lively nightlife. Many attractions in France and Spain are only a short train ride away. Students will share studios in a modern apartment-hotel and take French and multimedia classes at the ALFMED language school in the heart of the old city. Students will study various aspects of multimedia with a particular emphasis on video storytelling and will produce a multimedia Web site about the city. The program includes 30 hours of French instruction at the beginner or intermediate level (students will be assessed and placed appropriately).
Students can earn 3 transferable units of upper-division undergraduate credit (JOUR 677 Multimedia Study Abroad) through the San Francisco State University College of Extended Learning.
