We have a full program with plenty of breaks and varied activities. There is one night off, interesting outings are planned, but you are free to spend your time as you wish if you have specific people to visit or sights you want to see.
The night before our official start, for your convenience we’ll have registration from 6 – 9:00 p.m. and dorms open for those flying in or coming from far away needing to stay overnight. Airport shuttles will be set up by each school and that information will be sent to you after you register.
Each day, there are large group presentations with activities and exercises to engage the participants. Each participant is a member of a small group that meets daily throughout the Institute with one of the faculty. The small group provides a safe space to practice new skills and to share feelings and experiences with colleagues.
