If you need to cancel, please note that we can only refund payments if the cancellation occurs more than 30 days before the start of the program. Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds for cancellations made within 30 days of the trip. As a cultural house, we must support the individuals and institutions involved in creating our programs. Final payments are made 30 days before the program begins, and requesting refunds at this stage can disrupt the planning and impact future collaborations. However, we will gladly assist with returning any payments if the cancellation is made more than 30 days in advance. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to consider this when making your plans.
