In settings.py you have this:

Note it says "DIRS", and its a tuple. Add the other paths to where you want
to look for templates.
The way I've done my template layout is to have a template directory under
the project, then subdirectories for each app.
When you specify a template that is project level, you just use its name.
For app specific templates you specify like: "app1/mytemplate.html"
