About the course
The University of Latvia offers a multidisciplinary course that focuses on topical issues in a present day society. The course will provide insight on how the ‘big neighbors’ influence the development of small countries such as the Baltic States.You will discover what happens when a small country has big neighbouring countries. How far do their influences stretch? Besides impacting the history and culture of a country, what other effects occur? You will explore topics such as business ethics and corruption, humour as a communication tool, manipulation of social groups, emotions and their impact on large groups, influence of music, the history and cultural heritage of the Russian Old Believers, the Soviet ethnic policy and its consequences for Latvia, influence on music, etc.
Outside the lectures, students will have ample opportunity to partake in the online social programme and online visits to study-related companies.
Students will be able to successfully complete the course and obtain 4 ECTS through submitting a paper within a month after the course ending.
This course is also part of a joint programme with the Utrecht University and the University of Tartu "European Encounters: The Baltics in the European Union". Students are able to join one (two or even all three) of our joint summer programmes and earn 4 ECTS per Course.
