About the Interaction Design Programme
The Interaction Design Programme (IDP) is CIID's intensive one-year educational experience for people who want to design meaningful products, services, systems, and experiences.
Through a life-centred approach, participants develop the skills, mindset, and confidence to address complex challenges with creativity, critical thinking, and hands-on experimentation.
At CIID, learning happens by making. Participants work in cross-disciplinary teams, prototype continuously, and learn from an international community of faculty, alumni, industry partners, and peers from around the world.
The result is more than an education, it is a community and a professional network that continues long after graduation.
________________
Our Campus
The exhibition takes place at CIID's campus at the beautifully restored 11th-century Astino monastery in Bergamo, where history, nature, and innovation create an inspiring setting for learning, experimentation, and collaboration.
