How it works:
90% distance learning: Classes take place in late afternoon, mainly through synchronous online education with the option to rewatch recorded lectures. Therefore, the program is suitable for working people.
10% on-site: Some activities and meetings are held in person in Chios, enhancing experiential learning and connection with the program.
