How Tuition is Priced

The residency cost is centered on supporting the group of teaching artists who guide us throughout the week. At least 75% of tuition fees go directly to supporting their presence and creative work, as well as local cultural initiatives and small businesses. The rest covers materials, administrative support, and reinvestment in the project’s sustainability. 

We offer an early bird discount through May, in gratitude for early commitments that help us to plan. Payment plans are also available ahead of September 1. 

What's Included in Tuition

Your tuition payment covers the cultural-educational residency experience: from the morning of September 23rd through the evening of September 29th as outlined in the program. This includes:

• Daily lessons with Rosa Voto

• Workshops and presentations on culture, dance and music with our faculty of local teaching artists

• Structured discussion and processing circles, connecting the layers of our experience

• Use of a tamburello for the week (valued as a discount towards a purchase)

• Opportunities to experience music together in community

What's Not Included in Tuition

While the teaching artists' and community members compensation needs to be fixed and fair, we want you to be able to customize the rest of the trip to your needs and budget. Participants will book all other elements separately and independently to fit their budget. For example:

• Travel to and from Galatina

• Accommodation

• Food

Galatina offers accommodation, dining, and grocery shopping options that you can choose from, learn more here.

Important Details

We recommend the best practice of travel insurance for your trip, to cover yourself in the case you need to change plans last minute, "force majeure," flight issues, etc., in addition to any health insurance requirements or recommendations for entry into Italy/Schengen Zone from your country as a tourist.
