14 or 21 intensely immersive days to discover new worlds. But don’t trust space and time, because during DIT, space and time are relative categories. It only takes a moment, a glance, a laugh, a thank you, a clash, to realise if this is what you want to do when you grow up. Because creativity is not just a job, but a way of life. And this is the right place to experience it for the first time.
Less than you think
Thanks to the institutions and those who believe in DIT, the participation costs are kept low. The fees cover insurance, meals, accommodation, return travel, uniforms, project materials, and group activities. A large package of benefits and discounts has also been made available for this edition.
80 / 120 PCTO accredited hours for each week of DIT
