One week from Sunday 25th of August to Saturday 31st of August. The workshop will take place approximately from 9:00 to 16:00, Monday to Friday.

The workshop will be held in a grand mansion in a beautiful village of Salento, Puglia, near Lecce. Built in the early 1900s, the villa once hosted a tobacco factory on the ground floor, while the upper floor served as a noble residence until the 1970s. It features a swimming pool and a spacious workshop area. The exact location will be disclosed once the workshop is activated.

It's a 30-minute train ride from Lecce station, a 15-minute drive from Lecce city, 25 km to the Mediterranean coast, 1 hour by car from Brindisi airport, and 2 hours from Bari airport.

The nearest airport is Brindisi, and we recommend flying there. A shuttle bus connects the airport to Lecce city center, where you can catch a train to the town of the worksop. Trains run frequently between Lecce and the town, but we also offer a complimentary shuttle service. Let us know if you're interested!

The ticket covers training and tutoring (7 hours each day for 5 days, Monday to Friday), the accommodation costs for the regular and premium tickets, the breakfast and meal costs (excluding alcoholic beverages). Dietary restrictions will be asked after the workshop activation to accommodate all specific needs.

The brief will center on creative applications of emerging technologies, primarily artificial intelligence, but won't be limited to that. The briefs are thematic, allowing each participant to tackle them from their unique perspective, often transcending specific technologies. The brief will be revealed a few weeks before the workshop

The workshop is designed to help you improve your skills and knowledge in the field of interaction design and creative coding. It's a unique opportunity to learn from experienced professionals and meet like-minded people in a beautiful setting.

Breakfast and another meal will be provided. We will ask for dietary restrictions after the workshop activation to accommodate all specific needs.

You'll simply need a laptop with some software installed. We'll provide a list of tools needed after the workshop activation.
