“Tell me a story!” Something we all have heard or said so many times. As children, it is through stories we begin to learn how the world works – and that is why we are all so strongly attracted to them. Stories can invite us into an unthinkable reality, they help us learn from the past or even see the future, they offer archetypes of good and evil and can very well play with our imagination as well as logic. A good story can sell everything – not only does this apply to books and movies, but also to everything we do in our professional and personal life. We need a story to design a strong presentation, create an effective post for social media, manage an interview, deliver a business pitch or write an academic essay. While this course focuses on the importance of a story, we will mainly pay attention to the writer (his/her imagination, vocabulary, narrative styles, critical thinking, experience, dreams and memories) – YOU.

Acquired skills

• Mastering the art of storytelling (“Show Don’t Tell” techniques)
• Thinking imaginatively, creatively with an “outside the box” attitude
• Writing for the audience with an ability to make them see your point of view
• Selling your idea, concept or product through a variety of narrative tools and methods (presentation, advertisement, blog, CV, essay, public speech)
• Enhancing your English vocabulary, composition and writing style

Personal Development (ON CAMPUS)

ESS brings together people not afraid of engaging in something completely different from what they’re used to doing back home. It’s a great way to meet and interact with young people representing different cultures and as such – a definite opportunity to spend quite possibly the best couple of weeks in your life if you’re curious, enthusiastic and open to new experiences. Also, Prague is absolutely amazing!

Frauke - Netherlands

Design Thinking (ON CAMPUS)

Besides massive new illustration skills, I learned how much you can achieve in only two weeks. I met likeminded people who are open minded and fun to hang out with.The summer school helped me to develop professionally, but most of all it gave me more self esteem in this field of work.

Prague School of Creative Communication

30 June 2023

Vysoká škola kreativní komunikace (VŠKK)

The Prague School of Creative Communication offers degrees for positions in every creative field. With guidance from practicing tutors, students learn how to become highly sought-after journalists, copywriters, PR-specialists, moderators, graphic designers and photographers.

The available courses are Bachelor's programs such as "Literary Arts", "Visual arts" and "Marketing communication".

The school has strong partnerships with advertising agencies, graphic design studios and publishing houses. Students start working on real projects while still studying.

The education process is based on the model used in Scandinavian and British schools. Over the course of education, you not only get new knowledge and skills but also receive real-life experience and make new contacts.

It is the only institution in the Czech Republic that offers higher education in creative writing.

The duration of all the programs is 3 years. Students receive Bachelor's degrees upon graduation.

Literary Arts

The "Literary Arts" Bachelor's program includes "Creative writing" courses.

The courses are taught by famous writers, playwrights, journalists and copywriters in creative writing workshops. Students learn how to write, analyze and edit literary, journalistic or advertising texts.

Graduates become journalists, writers, playwrights, editors, copywriters, moderators and PR-specialists. The education program also includes advanced English courses. Students also study European and Czech literature, literature theory, poetics, modern Czech, history of art and culture, and the basics of philosophy and aesthetics.

Visual arts

The "Visual arts" program includes the following three courses: "Graphic and Media Design", "3D-animation and visual effects", "Photography and audiovisual arts".

Graphic and Media Design

The Graphic and Media Design studio collaborates with the Association of Communication Agencies and the Art Directors Club, which means students get to work together with leading Czech and foreign graphic designers and art directors.

The Graphic and Media Design studio is run by Prokop Sirotek, a graphic designer and art director of the MOTOR design studio, who developed the visual style for Václav Havel Airport Prague, ČSOB bank, Hypoteční banky and other major Czech companies.

Students learn to work professionally in image creation and postprocessing software and are taught online communication and branding. They also take part in the production of print and online publications and interactive projects over the course of their education.

Students are taught all the necessary drawing skills, composition principles and typography basics, the theory and history of modern art, history of graphic design and theory of visual culture.

3D-animation and visual effects

Students receive knowledge and skills needed for work in animation studios, game development and visual effects studios, and advertising companies. They start collaborating with animation and post-production studios while still only at the first year of education.

The curriculum includes mastering Nuke and Maya 3D - software used by the leading international animation studios. In addition to digital technology, students study concept art, digital art and matte painting.

Graduates then become VFX experts, 3D-animators, game designers, or motion graphics designers.

Photography and audiovisual arts

During education, you will develop your own visual style and learn how to use modern digital technology. Students are taught basic principles of work with composition and lighting, design brief basics, prepress basics and digital image and sound processing. The program also includes the history of photography and audio-visual culture. Renowned photographs run creative courses. The best students will have the opportunity to go abroad on an internship. The Prague School of Creative Communication collaborates with the New York Film Academy in particular.

Marketing and Communication

The "Marketing and Communication" program includes the following three courses: "Creative marketing", "Creative industry management" and "Online marketing".

Creative marketing

Since the program's tutors work together with the Association of Communication Agencies, students get to see the work of leading advertising companies first hand and put to the test their new skills.

Students acquire knowledge and skills in various creative disciplines (graphic arts, photography, audiovisual arts, 3D-animation, creative writing), study the latest trends in marketing communication and learn about famous advertising campaigns. Teachers help students develop their creative mindset and learn to effectively communicate in online and offline media.

Find summer courses by keyword, creative storytelling and creative writing.

“Tell me a story!” Something we all have heard or said so many times. As children, it is through stories we begin to learn how the world works – and that is why we are all so strongly attracted to them. Stories can invite us into an unthinkable reality, they help us learn from the past or even see the future, they offer archetypes of good and evil and can very well play with our imagination as well as logic. A good story can sell everything – not only does this apply to books and movies, but also to everything we do in our professional and personal life. We need a story to design a strong presentation, create an effective post for social media, manage an interview, deliver a business pitch or write an academic essay. While this course focuses on the importance of a story, we will mainly pay attention to the writer (his/her imagination, vocabulary, narrative styles, critical thinking, experience, dreams and memories) – YOU.

• Engage your curiosity every day and make it work for you.

Why Prague?

Traveling outside one’s own culture is know to be one of the best ways to stimulate creativity and achieve self-discovery. We have chosen Prague because of its great tradition of jazz and classical music, art museums, Baroque architecture, and cafes and night life. More

• Home to Kafka and Mozart, Prague is a charming city of grand pastel-colored buildings, world-class music, enchanting puppet theatres, and verdant parks. This small city invites you to wander its winding cobblestone streets and stop in at one of its sumptuous old cafes for a luscious dessert or Bohemian beer.
• While your surroundings and experiences in Prague will help to awaken your imagination, the techniques we explore in class will sharpen your appreciation of Prague.
