From July 5 to 15, 2022, the first summer school of the Erasmus+ MultiEd project "Yuri Lotman and Semiotics of Culture: Culture, Text, Translation, New Media, Cultural Memory, Semiosphere" was held at the University of Tartu (Estonia).

During their studies, participants from the universities of Poltava, Zaporizhzhia, Cherkassy, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, Bakhmut (Dnipro) attended lectures and seminars by teachers of the Department of Semiotics of the University of Tartu, where they discussed current issues of modern science: the development of Yuri Lotman's ideas of culture semiotics, cultural memory and modern culture, semiotics of space and city, semiotics of translation, transmediality in culture, digital semiosphere, ecosemiotics. The educational program was organically combined with a diverse cultural program, which included visits to museums (art museum of the University of Tartu, Estonian National Museum, research interactive museum), a quest-excursion along Lotman's paths, viewing a documentary film about the life and work of Y. Lotman, participation in a master- notebook-making classes in the premises of an old printing house, a trip on an old boat.

Meetings of the working group involved discussion of the structure of the publication and its content.
