Find a month that works for you

Browse 24 approved 2027 Dago365 start dates and their approved learning themes. Select a month, then choose a team and date to inquire about participation.

2027 dates and learning themes approved · inquiries open. Friends of Dago has approved the published Dago365 calendar and associated learning themes. The standard experience lasts two weeks. Program cost and inclusions are provided in an individual written offer. Approval of the calendar does not itself reserve a place or confirm an individual visitor’s booking: group size, accommodation, specific supervised activities, host availability, inclusions and payment terms are provided in a written offer. Please wait for your written confirmation before booking nonrefundable travel.

Finance and health themes are not service placements: The Women’s Microfinance themes are for learning, not handling loans, savings or private financial data. Village Banking is a proposed education-only design and has not rolled out; no banking, deposit or lending placement is available. The medical/sports theme is a historical planning concept, not an offer of clinical work. Any eventual activities depend on locally agreed host roles, professional credentials where required, and separate activity-specific permissions.
