See: Rights, Care, Support

Personal Coaching at DAI:

* In-space is a supportive thinking space to reflect on issues around each student's own and others’ experiences as a member of the DAI community. This is an organic process where all students can explore their concerns about race, gender, sexuality, mental health, culture and beyond. In-space is confidentially guided by Wanderley Santos.  

*Once per academic year, (following your Kitchen presentation), every first year student at the DAI is scheduled for a one-on-one meeting of one full hour with artistic director | head of program, Gabriëlle Schleijpen gabrielle.schleijpen@dutchartinstitute.eu. If as a second year students you need to share or discuss an urgent or sensitive issue of importance to general wellbeing and study, you are most welcome to contact her and ask for an ad hoc additional (IRL or online) confidential meeting.
