IMPACT is a 3-weeks program of courses within the UPEC-UPEM Summer School (East-Paris) which aims to provide a critical perspective on International Media, Political Action & Communication Technologies. IMPACT aims to give its students a critical perspective on how the internationalization of communication, the sharp increase in and acceleration of the production of information, and the unprecedented development of digital media play a role in the way political action, citizen mobilization and public debate are now being framed.

The course is available for Masters and PhD level students interested in political and public communication, social movements and transnational media activism, as well as the role of communication technologies in international relations. Suitable academic backgrounds include communication studies, political science, discourse analysis, area and cultural studies and sociology. The IMPACT course allows you to obtain 3 ECTS.
