Course Description\n \n The ACE²-EU Flavour School is an intensive\, practice-based programme held in Riga\, where students from diverse disciplines collaborate in international teams to design festival-ready light-art concepts for public space. Participants will learn how to move from early exploration and idea generation to a clear and feasible project plan by integrating: artistic narrative and storytelling · site-specific spatial design · technical planning (lighting sources\, power supply\, control systems) · safety and sustainability considerations. The course responds to the growing demand for professionals capable of designing meaningful\, environmentally responsible interventions in real urban contexts — skills increasingly relevant across the creative industries\, technology\, and public-sector innovation. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 3. Learning Structure — Mobility Week Day by Day\n \n Online: Pre-briefing online session (date to be confirmed after registration). On-site (5-day structured process\, with continuous mentor support): Day 1 — Urban Exploration & Sensory Mapping: Introduction to the Riga Light Festival and light as a spatial and social medium. Guided site visits\, location scouting\, documentation\, and group reflection. Day 2 — Team Formation & Thematic Focus: Balanced team formation\, expert inputs\, ideation sessions\, and initial concept framing. Day 3 — Concept Definition & Spatial Strategy: Development of a site-specific concept\, narrative\, and interaction strategy. Site revisits for measurements and constraints. Mid-review critique. Day 4 — Prototyping & Technical Development: Prototype testing and technical planning (lighting\, power\, control systems\, materials\, assembly). Safety and sustainability checks. Day 5 — Final Project Definition & Presentation: Finalisation of drawings\, technical specifications\, activation plans\, and production timelines. Presentation and reflective discussion. Follow-up: Each team finalises and submits a feasible project package (concept description\, site documentation\, drawings/prototype evidence\, technical solution\, implementation/dismantling plan). Selected projects may be produced and installed as part of the Riga Light Festival\, with teams invited to follow through practical set-up. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 4. Learning Objectives\n \n By the end of the course\, students will be able to: Conduct a site analysis for a light-based public-space intervention.Develop a site-specific concept and narrative defining the intended audience experience and the role of light.Translate a creative idea into a feasible project plan with technical requirements for light sources\, power\, and control.Create and test a prototype to validate key elements of the concept.Apply safety and sustainability criteria\, selecting low-impact or reusable materials.Produce a complete “feasible project package.”Communicate and defend the project through a final presentation.Collaborate effectively in an interdisciplinary\, international team.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 5.
