iei Media: The Armagh Project - Summer Program in Media Studies

The Armagh Project offers two tracks for students to choose from: public opinion writing and performance/playwriting. Students learn and practice skills in their chosen field while sharing with each other through travel, readings, class activities and guest speakers. Students live at the modern Armagh City Youth Hostel and have classes at the AmmA Centre, a technologically enhanced multimedia center in the heart of the historic city. Students will also spend a week at Glebe House in County Down and visit Belfast and the surrounding community. Students present their work at the John Hewitt International Summer School, an international festival of writing and performance at the Marketplace Theatre in Armagh. There is an optional trip to Dublin at the start of the program.
