International Summer Language School, which is the educational
not-for-profit multi-cultural program our International Language School

programs, and would be willing to share their good experiences and memories.
The INTERNATIONAL SUMMER LANGUAGE SCHOOL - 2003 is themed "LINKING THE

The program is aimed at creating opportunities in a diverse multicultural
environment and a supportive atmosphere to improve foreign language
knowledge, to draw attention to major issues that have global importance and
affect the world, to explore commonalities and appreciate differences, to
promote cultural awareness and peace, and build common understanding and
trust.
ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, RUSSIAN, and other languages classes, as well as
computers, drama and arts, are scheduled within the educational program of
the Summer Language School. The cultural program integrates language
education into exciting daily activities which besides daily language
classes, also include arts and crafts projects, creative hands-on workshops,
music and drama, games and contests, art and drawing, inventive engaging
performances and shows, sports and interactive projects with the use of the
Internet technologies.

communicate with colleagues and students from all over the world, share with
them your knowledge, culture and experiences, and make a valuable personal
contribution to the world peace movement, and a great chance to learn the
