Goal of the Activity

The primary goals of the Tuscany trip were to provide international students with a comprehensive cultural experience by exploring four of the region's most beautiful cities: Siena, San Gimignano, Florence, and Pisa. The trip aimed to immerse students in the rich historical and cultural heritage of Tuscany, enhancing their understanding and appreciation of Italian art, architecture, and traditions. It also sought to facilitate social interaction and bonding among international students, helping them to make new friends and integrate more easily into their new environment. Additionally, the trip offered educational tours and guided visits to significant landmarks, such as the Uffizi Gallery and historic city centers, providing insightful learning experiences. Introducing students to the renowned Tuscan cuisine and Chianti wine offered a taste of local culinary delights. Balancing cultural and educational activities with recreational opportunities, including nightlife experiences and free time for personal exploration, ensured a well-rounded and enjoyable experience for all participants
