Our Work

ITD designs and delivers customized, high-quality educational programs that are:

  • Participant-centered, ensuring that each experience is tailored to the needs, aspirations, and cultural contexts of those involved.
  • Immersive and experiential, fostering intercultural exchange and practical application of knowledge.
  • Rooted in collaboration, with shared decision-making, peer-to-peer support, and strong community-building elements.
  • Grounded in contemporary global issues, helping participants gain insights and take action on pressing social, political, and economic challenges.

Our unique residential model—centered around the ITD House in Amherst, MA—creates a close-knit, supportive environment where participants can live, learn, and grow together. Proximity to the Five College Consortium (UMass Amherst, Amherst College, Hampshire College, Smith College, and Mount Holyoke College) offers access to world-class academic resources, speakers, and professional networks, further enriching the learning experience.

The ITD team regularly designs customized programs that best meet individual and institutional needs. ITD guarantees close communication, academic or professional expertise, logistical proficiency and professional execution. If you have a project in mind and you’d like to collaborate with ITD, please Contact the ITD Office.
