Sigulda to host international youth media camp Young Media Sharks

In late August, young people from Latvia and other Baltic countries will gather in Sigulda for the international media camp Young Media Sharks, with documentary film as a central theme.

At the end of August, the town of Sigulda will host an international event called the Young Media Sharks media camp, bringing together young participants from Latvia and other Baltic countries.

During the camp, attendees will focus on documentary filmmaking, using it as a starting point for discussions and creative work exploring what it means to be young in Latvia today.

The gathering brings together youth from across the region, giving them a chance to explore media and film as tools of expression while discussing topics relevant to their generation.
