We’re happy to announce that the 23rd Traditional Summer Linguistics School for high school students this year will be held with approximate dates scheduled as July 8-19, 2024

This year our summer school is planned to be held according to the same model that proved successful in the last 3 consequent years, after the covid break, that is we expect most participants to be from various countries of Europe, and the official language of the event will be English. Already traditionally, courses on different fields of modern linguistics will go in the programme along with short courses of different languages of the world. Classes on solving linguistic problems are also programmed. The courses will be taught by professional linguists and university teachers from Estonia, Israel, Germany, Sweden, France, Poland, Spain, Bulgaria etc., the exact list and programme to be confirmed closer to the event.

The potential audience of the school is high school and early University students at the approximate age range between 14 and 20 but we tend to accept as listeners everyone with a true passion for linguistics. We’re especially aiming at participants of national olympiads in linguistics but of course not disregarding the kids who just have natural interest in languages and science.

We are extremely proud that last year our school was a real success and the audience went up to as many as 36 participants from 12 different countries, and we hope this to be a trend. However, our capacity is limited and we reserve the right to close the application process once our limit is reached even if this happens before the below mentioned deadline.

The venue will be, as usual, hostel Laine, with the price of 750 euro including accommodation, meals, and the transfer from Tallinn and back. One day excursion to Tartu or Tallinn is also scheduled and included in the price.

The preliminary deadline for or applications is April 30, 2024
