Once again, this incredible program will be led by our highly experienced DTC faculty members, June T. Sanders and Jacob Riddle. The trip will take place in Berlin from May 12 to May 31, 2025, providing students with a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich history and culture of Berlin while earning academic credits.

Experience the creativity and social activism of Berlin with our unique study abroad program focusing on Animation, Design & Activism. Based in the heart of one of Europe’s most dynamic cities, this program offers students a unique opportunity to explore the intersections of design, animation, and activism in a city that is known for pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Through a combination of coursework, workshops, and hands-on projects, students will gain a deeper understanding of the design process and the role that design and animation can play in promoting social change. In addition to traditional design and animation classes, students will also have the opportunity to explore the city’s rich history of counterculture and activism, visiting museums, galleries, and cultural landmarks that showcase the works of local and international artists.

Beyond the classroom, students will also have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Berlin’s thriving art and design scene, visiting local design studios and exhibitions, and participating in hands-on projects and collaborations with local designers, artists, and activists. Whether you’re interested in design, animation, or activism, this study abroad program offers a unique and exciting opportunity to explore the creative and cultural landscape of one of Europe’s most dynamic cities.
