It is your responsibility to have a suitable medical insurance (travel insurance/travel accident insurance.)

Protection for Children

The Summer School seminar is open for the participants of 18 years old, or older. In the event of participants bringing underage children with them, that can only be done with the explicit agreement of the Summer School staff. Such children are to be under supervision of their parent or guardian, who is carrying the full legal responsibility for the child.

Inclusivity

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, nationality, gender, sexuality, religion, or belief. The participants are expected to treat each other, as well as the Summer School staff, with respect. Failure to do so may result in your expulsion from the seminar, with no refunds made.

Change of program

The Summer School team reserves the right to change the program without prior notice.

Payments and refund policy

The payment for the tuition and accommodation+meals must be made in full before the start of the Summer School seminar, unless you have pre-agreed a special payment plan with our staff.

All cancellations will be charged €70. After two months before the start of the seminar, €200 is non-refundable. After one month before the start of the seminar no refunds are made.

We apologise that the site of the Summer School is not currently being wheelchair accessible.

When audio recordings are made, voices and contributions of some of the participants may be recorded. If you do not wish for your voice to be present on the recording, please notify us in writing.
