[ecrea] Communication Summer Academy 2016: July 24-August 6, Quito, Ecuador

*******************************
Bournemouth University is partnering with the University of the Americas 
(UDLA) in Quito, Ecuador, to offer postgraduate students a two-week long 
communication summer school from July 24 to August 6, 2016.  The 
Communication Summer Academy is now in its second year and will build 
upon the success of the inaugural programme in 2015.
Classes at the Academy will be delivered in English, by lecturers from 
Latin America and the UK.  Students will have the choice to participate 
in classroom-based lectures and workshops in one of two subjects - 
computer animation and advertising/social communication (health 
communication will be a topic of focus for students choosing this 
pathway).  You will also have the opportunity to take community film and 
documentary courses.  Last year's cohort included students from the UK, 
Ecuador, Peru and Argentina.  This multicultural learning environment 
resulted in great debates and encouraged the development of skills 
related to working in international teams.
A number of cultural activities and field trips will complement the 
academic programme of the Summer Academy.  Planned activities include 
visits to communities in the Andes and trips to an Ecuadorian 
advertising agency and TV station.  You'll also experience Quito's Old 
Town - one of the very first UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Last year's Academy offered participating staff and students an 
enriching and unforgettable experience (the student feedback was 
excellent).  This year promises to be even better.  For those that may 
be interested, UDLA is also offering an optional 3-week intensive 
Spanish language course.
