At ITD we set the scene for profound intercultural experiences. Our work brings together professionals and/or students from around the world to share cultures, exchange ideas, deepen understanding, and spread knowledge. The programs we offer include a wide range of topics: from developing civic education curricula, to exploring minority integration in the West; from promoting indigenous visual arts, to studying US culture and democracy. With their new-found knowledge and their experience of dynamic engagement, our participants return to their countries enriched by their exchange, and recharged by new and challenging ideas, and ways of thinking. In their own words it is “an experience of a lifetime.”
