Why should I participate?
The guideline for the course is “Content, Culture, Social”. The intensive schedule allows for serious varied practical work (Exercises, analytical methods, panels, discussions etc..), specific cultural aspects of the region (protocol, security aspects etc..) and social (receptions, official lunch etc..)

This class truly improved my understanding of the DA environment and is of course completely necessary — even more necessary — for those students who will be filling DA assignments.
