The Summer School ORAL LITERATURE will provide an opportunity for intensive study and an invaluable experience for Master and PhD students who will have the opportunity to learn key topics in collecting, documenting and studying oral genres.

The Summer School will offer plenty of opportunities to the participants to discuss with the keynotes and lecturers, and to address issues linked to orality, technology, and collaboration with the local communities in their own work.

Large space is given to workshops and training. In addition, lunches and dinners will offer a common ground for informal conversation and meeting with the lecturers.
