The goal of the activity was to encourage international students to connect with nature by walking inside a forest, while enjoying the landscapes of Tuscany.
We gathered in Florence in order to get the bus to Settignano, a small village 20 minutes from Florence. There we starterd our journey. We hiked in the countryside, inside a forest. There we could admire the tuscanian nature and enjoy the incredibly peaceful environment.
After a 2 hours walk, which included some stops, we had to cross a small river. This activity boosted cooperation within the students, who helped eachother to cross it. It has also awoken their adventurous spirit, requiring a bit of effort and focus (and a lot of fun too).
Finally, we stopped for our lunch around a waterfall where some students enjoyed taking a bath! We councluded our trip after 1 hour by taking the bus home and getting ice-cream togheter.
