Hosted in Milan, the global capital of design and creativity, these programs provide international participants with the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge design practices, explore Italian excellence, and develop professional skills in a dynamic and collaborative environment.
Participants can choose from three distinct 60-hour programs, each tailored to a specific area of design expertise.
