2026 pLanning Notes
The day one “Adventus” activities will prioritize more on settling in and cultural orientation, particularly around food, cooking, and navigating public transportation. Time allowing we’ll end with visits to famous landmarks.
We’re re-thinking excursions outside of Rome based on 2025 student feedback. Certain optional add-ons were very popular: trips to the beach, visits to artists’ workshops, handling sessions of ancient objects with a museum curator. The days on which activities on the calendar below will likely shift as we establish what is feasible and most meaningful for 2026.
