MASTER CLASS SCHEDULE
Week 1
The first part of the Master Class involves a presentation of Palomar by the CEO and the Brand managers, who will talk about the values and philosophy of the company, including the presentation of some particularly significant projects and case studies.

On the first day the Master Class objectives will also be established and the various phases that will lead to the definition of the project ideas will be planned.

These activities will be interspersed with verifications, revisions and discussions with the Designer. The Designer will be available to interact with the participants for half of the day.
The last day of the Master Class includes the finalization of the projects developed by the individual participants, their presentation to all participants and brief discussion, coordinated and directed by the Designer.
