Cost: $8,924

Murrow College of Communication is extending its footprint of global cultural learning and giving communication students a chance to gain valuable international field practice and experience. The “Storytelling in Greece – Murrow Abroad” program offers a month-long, faculty-led Summer Semester 2021 program in Greece with 2 core courses of digital media PR strategy and multimedia storytelling.

It is customized to provide a mix of culture and real-life business scenarios for at least 15 and up to 20 communication students in May and June 2021. The program is open to all Murrow majors, and provides a practical hands-on approach within both Strategic Communication and Journalism and Media Production courses. Greece is at the crossroads of Western influence and Middle Eastern strife. For this country known for its hospitality, storytelling and brand promotion opportunities are everywhere. Digital video and strategic public relations campaigns can be aligned to help local businesses and community groups following a barrage of recent economic and social influences. Group excursions round out the experience, bridging must-see antiquities and landmarks with the beauty of Byzantine-period monasteries and modern-day life on the seashore. Coupled with one-on-one client engagement meetings and service projects, this immersive study program helps students to come to know the Greek way of life and how to conduct business communication on behalf of these enterprises far more than what the classroom can do alone. Support for classroom and living arrangements are arranged through local partnerships to help students get to and from class efficiently and take in the heart of life within modern Thessaloniki.
