Milan, Venice, Ljubljana, Plitvice, Zagreb
Summit Tour:
From July 6–16, discover that as a region’s landscape changes, its approach to food does, too. From Venice’s fishing villages to Slovenia’s Alpine peaks, taste your way across Europe through a variety of traditions and practices, and the landscapes that help shaped them. As you discover Croatia’s blend of eastern and western cultural influences, investigate how environment, politics and population influence each region’s approach to food.

Summit Leadership Conference:
Join other teachers and students from across North America and Europe in Milan, Italy, for a two-day leadership conference, July 8–9. Hear from world-renowned speakers, attend expert-led workshops and gain valuable insight into how food connects plates, people, politics and culture.

Using Design Thinking—a creative problem-solving technique used by companies like Apple and Google—international teams of students will create and present solutions to feed our ever-growing world.
