« The Urban Cultures DTS is an innovative program that gives participants the opportunity to live, observe and analyze the numerous facets of postmodern urban reality. The Urban Cultures DTS also permits participants to put into place the foundations for an adult spirituality. This means that participants, while keeping their evangelical fervour, develop their capacity to taste and to celebrate God’s presence in a secular context where this presence is often so astonishingly discreet that someone less experienced might not see it ! If you want to learn how to be a witness to Christ in the urban cultures of the XXIst century, Urban Cultures is for you. »

« The Montreal Urban Cultures DTS is a great new initiative of YWAM. It's a holistic approach of community living, teaching, serving, and learning about God's heart for cities through many different experiences. It offers the opportunity to meet and grow with people from around the world,  get involved with practical city work as well as be involved with urban ministry- among many other great opportunities. The bilingual and cross cultural nature of the program will also leave students well equipped for global urban ministry elsewhere. »

« The world continues to urbanise at astonishing rates. Understanding urban growth, urbanisation, urbanism and globalization are indispensable skills for every follower of Jesus who desires to practice their vocation – whatever avenue it may be. This school makes a special contribution to Christian urban theological education because of the approach to integral mission including an emphasis on urban theology, the arts, volunteering and spiritual transformation. This will be a unique place for a denomination or a mission society to send their urban practitioners to learn about the city and to develop their skills and love for the city. »

« I highly recommend the Urban Cultures DTS in Montreal Canada. This is a DTS with a difference and will allow you as a student to really experience what it means to engage a city and a neighborhood. The Urban Cultures DTS is designed to go beyond traditional methods of learning and allows you to learn from the richness of the city. »

« For a complete experience both urban and spiritual, involving heart, soul, and body, the Urban Cultures Discipleship Training School is an environment of choice. Participants cross cultural boundaries in order to explore the city with a Christian sensitivity developped over the course of quality teaching, interaction with peers, and educational outings. Practical projects encourage students to contextualise their learning. I highly recommend the Urban Cultures DTS for those who wish to amplify their vision of God and of the city. »
