It’s
time again for the annual International Week and we’re hitting the 11th
consecutive year of the event. As usual we have exciting workshops to share
with you and this time we come to you with a lot of interesting workshops about
trans-media, Virtual Reality, Film & television, awesome performances and
exhibitions and many many more great programmes. And all of this for free!
As
the tradition dictates the TAMK Art, Music and Media International Week has
gathered over 150 partners and friends from 30 countries to Mediapolis in
Tampere to share their experiences and knowledge. Our teachers, students,
partners and friends all work together to bring you this amazing opportunity. The
main point is for everyone to learn from each other during these four intensive
days.

This year the topic for the iWeek is “Who do we think we are? Identity, Diversity, Equality”. The programme has several different workshops, seminars, presentations, exhibitions, concerts and screenings. You can find the schedule from their webpage with also the link for the participant registration form that you can fill out to register to the event. On the webpage there is also a section with instructions on how to get to the Mediapolis campus and getting around in Tampere.
From
their webpage you can find the event blog where people have been writing about
the process and their thoughts and ideas about the iWeek from all the way back
to 2008 when the event came to be for the first time. Also, the Facebook page
features updates about the workshops, partners, schedule and stories from the
actual event.
The workshops run from Tuesday to Thursday, with topics like
“Sound, Emotion and User Experience” by Antti Jylhä from the Hague University
of Applied Sciences, “Connecting Neighborhoods: diverse_CITY” by
Graham Cooper and Martyn Thayne from University of Lincoln and “Live Reporting”
by Yuwei Lin from University of Stirling.
