From Rome’s aqueducts to Tuscany’s thermal hot springs and tunnels, discover how water has and continues to impact Italy’s culture and society.

Start in Rome—once the center of the entire Western world—where you’ll learn how ancient Romans strategically used water to win battles, provide clean drinking water, and prevent disease. Then, travel to Tuscany, a region often visited for its spa traditions and healing waters. Lastly, come together with other teachers and students in Berlin to dive even deeper into The Impact of Water on Society, building a shared understanding of how to harness this important natural resource to make a bigger difference around the world.
