Education Abroad

Throughout this three-week workshop, students will visit some of the most important art galleries in the world, including the Galleria degli Uffizi and the Galleria dell'Accademia; attend film screenings; and take a one day trip to Siena and a two-day trip to the National Cinema Museum in Turin, learning to analyze movies from a technical point of view and to write about food and travels. Students live in apartments in the center of Florence, at a walking distance from the classroom space and surrounded by the artistic beauties of the city in a safe, friendly environment.
