How does DTS work?
Lecture: In the mornings the student has time alone with God, moments of praise and intercession and then, 3 hours of class. In the afternoons, the students will take part in maintenance at the base, the dancers will have dance practice and the skaters will have space and time to practice skateboarding.
In the evenings, there is time for specific classes, personal studies or anything else needed.
Outreach: For the last 8 weeks, the students are sent for the outreach period somewhere in Brazil or abroad. They will have the opportunity to put into practice what they have learned in the first 3 months, also being available for the needs and guidance of the places where they will be received.
