“An artist has no home in Europe,” said Nietzsche, “except in Paris.” Sapir College’s Daniel Maurer and Omer Stavi, third year Communications students, were awarded a prestigious honor by that city’s Ecole Nationale Superieure Louis-Lumiere. Chosen from among hundreds of students who applied, Omer and Daniel will receive a summer scholarship to take part in a training program for podcast editing and radio documentaries, running from mid-July to the end of August 2021.

Louis-Lumiere, Frances’ National Cinema, Photography and Sound Engineering School, is one of Europe’s leading institutions in the field, offering theoretical, practical and technical training in a variety of communications media. The experience will put Daniel and Omer at the world’s cutting edge of the communications arts.

Dr. Moti Gigi, Chair of the Communications Department at Sapir, sees this as an important milestone in the development of the college.  “I am very excited that our students won this prestigious summer scholarship, this our first collaboration with this outstanding European academic institution. There will be many more.”

Dr. Ella Ben-Atar, head of The Radio and Digital program at Sapir, sees Daniel and Omer as pioneers. “They are both very creative, the kind of students we seek to encourage here at Sapir.  The folks at Louis-Lumiere are in for a pleasant surprise,” she says. “They have a thing or two to learn from our students.”
