DAI Week nr. 3 ~ Arnhem & Buitencentrum Overasselt. February 15 till 21, 2022

Visit DAI’s COVID-19 page for extensive information on our protocol during DAI weeks.

Our first DAI Week of this academic year took place in the Tramuntana mountains of Mallorca. For the second iteration we were hosted at Nida Art Colony in Lithuania. For the third DAI Week, initially scheduled for January, but cancelled because of the rapid spread of the Omicron variant of the virus and the lockdown situation in the Netherlands, we are now looking forward to reunite again in real life: this time in Arnhem and at Buitencentrum Overasselt with a full week program comprised of our How To Do Things With Theory and Planetary Campus study components.
