Holis is an interdisciplinary summer school that fosters social innovation through collaborative creativity.

“I warmly recommend the Holis summer schools. They are exacly the kind of educational programme next-generation professionals need - place-based, inter-disciplinary, collaborative.”

“Holis does an excellent job of creating an environment that fosters peer learning. With the guidance of remarkable team leaders and an incredibly dedicated and brilliant team, I left Holis equipped with tools and methods that I will continue to use in my design work.”

“Now more than ever we need to foster cooperation across disciplines, cultures and geographies to support social innovation. I’m convinced of the value of place-specific, experiential learning, and the Holis summer schools create fantastic opportunities and benefits, not only for the talented (and lucky) participants but for the local partner enterprises and communities."

“It is priceless to have the level of expertise of these organizer, mentor and local experts who involved in the program, and be able to learn from them how to apply all the design theories into concrete actions and testing.”

“Creative problem solving and empathy are fast becoming the top capacities necessary for our future lives. This means we need new models of education. Ones that mix different ways of thinking and doing things and equip us with collaborative know-how. Holis is part of this new generation of progressive and interdisciplinary learning programmes challenging disciplinary silos.”

“Holis was inspiring and exciting. I never thought I will learn so much in such a short period of time. Some of that will stick with me forever and I am very grateful for that.”
