Germany, Italy
Start your journey in Berlin, where you’ll come together with other students and teachers to focus on Creating a Sustainable Future during a three-day leadership conference. Head to Italy, home to iconic structures from Pompeii to the Colosseum that have withstood centuries of environmental change and human development. It’s also home to innovative nonprofits and research institutions working toward ecological conservation.
