Life After DAI is one of the building blocks of the WEAVER curriculum component.

Since 2022 the DAI organises Life after DAI coaching sessions at Centrale Fies, beautifully located in the Valle dei Laghi in Trentino, Italy. Here expert advisors are invited to engage in conversations with the soon to be graduating students.

Near the end of the two-year journey with DAI, students draft a bio for their Alumni Embassy profile. This text grounds a one-hour, one-on-one "Life After DAI" coaching session. Students can use this time to discuss how to refine their bio into a compelling statement, or use it to talk over expectations, goals, fears and doubts about navigating the art worlds of our time. While students are responsible for their own written bio content, DAI contributes a commisioned photo portrait and a brief summary of their institutional achievements to each Alumni Embassy page.
