The format of the course consists of frontal lectures, debates and workshops in small seminar groups of students, guest lectures and a gallery visit. Seminars function as a hub of creative ideas / individual homeworks which will be further developed into the format of the final, theory-driven creative media project. The students are not expected to have a previous professional or creative experience in the field of media production, yet they will be asked to actively work with various media formats that require a certain level of creativity like podcasts, IG accounts or websites. The continual engagement of students with the content of the course is expected and required through debating the required readings at seminars and continually working on bi-weekly homeworks. The timely submission of all required materials is expected. The students of the international programme of Social Sciences can use priority enrollment for the course. Czech university students and Erasmus students are welcome. |
