The Cultural Programs offered by the Student Engagement Office aim to be the point of reference for an engaged community of young adults who want to make the most of their new life abroad. We offer a variety of opportunities each semester to intellectually stimulate students by exposing them to the rich history and culture of Italy. The combination of these elements creates a deep sense of discovery and directs students to a healthy, balanced journey towards finding their passions. Every activity is designed to enhance respect and appreciation for diversity and foreign cultures and to train students to see things from a different perspective. It is our hope that students will go back home with the feeling that life is a kaleidoscope of many cultures and that each of them contains something vital and precious.
Our motto is: “Wherever you go, becomes a part of you somehow.”
Each semester, the Student Engagement Office organizes day and weekend trips to unique locations around Italy. Discover the charm of Venice and the magic of Capri, go wine tasting at the Castelli Romani, or on a hiking trip to Tivoli, just to name a few of the trips that allow students to immerse themselves in Italian culture.
Living in the Eternal City, beauty is around every corner. The Cultural Programs offer the possibility to attend concerts, shows, and exhibitions in wonderful venues, such as Rome’s Globe Theatre and the Opera House.
The Cultural Programs organizes cooking classes held by a professional chef in a typical trattoria, a family-owned, casual restaurant in the heart of Rome.
