"During the course in Deventer, in the day I enjoyed the atmosphere of discussions with spiritually and intellectually rich people, and in the evenings the beautiful river view."

"I feel so lucky coming here and being surrounded by such kind, talented people at the Academia Vitae. I loved the building and the environment in which we learned. Everyone was so welcoming and worked so hard to make us feel at home. The members of the faculty who presented had energy and a good sense of humor."

"The summer course proved to be a great platform for dialogue and networking, with a well balanced approach of theoretical and practical aspects. I most enjoyed the diversity in cultural backgrounds and different domains of activity and experience of the participants and of the faculty as well."

"The summer course on 'The Values of Culture' has been a very enriching experience for me as a professional. It gave me the opportunity to discover the whole world of art and culture as well as to get a true face value of art and culture in a world that is evolving at fast rate."
Gayethree Bojnauth, Head of Science and Biology in an International School of Mauritius
"I never knew what to expect from the course. I thought about it for some time and I imagined meeting these serious academicians. But to my surprise - it was the most interesting course I have ever attended - yes, there were academicians but open-minded ones and practitioners at the same time, which made a nice fusion. For that, I am glad that Academia Vitae offered me the opportunity to participate in such an intercultural exchange with experts from different cultural backgrounds."
Faisal Kiwewa, Director of Bayimba Cultural Foundation
"The course has provided, in a short time, a strong and potent mix of practical and theoretical inputs that will help me to find a new focus and inspiration for my PhD. I would recommend this course as a good starting point to anyone who wants to make a serious impression in the field of Cultural Economics."
