What we achieved in the 2012/13 academic year

We in DIA strongly believe that before starting something new - a new initiative or a new academic year - it is worth looking back to see what was achieved. To this end we created a short summary about the last 12 months. Although we all knew  that we've spent a meaningful year with plenty of challenges and achievements, the outcomes surprised us. If you wish to know how many training days we've had, how many people participated in our programs, or how much our staff travelled, take a look at our graphic report.

DiN in Hungary – continues in September 2013!

“I’m angry with you.” – said one of the participants of our last DiN training session. “Since I started to attend your training, I don’t like others’ your’s being so good.” – Well, it’s quite rewarding to get such a feedback from one of the participants at the end of a debate method training. Isn’t it?
