Leadership Conference, Florence & Rome
Farm-to-table may be buzzworthy in the United States, but Italy’s always been a leader in the art of fresh, regional cuisine. As you travel through this Mediterranean country, consider how sourcing and eating local ingredients can make a big difference in our overall health and wellness.
Leadership Conference:
Join teachers and students from around the world in Davos, Switzerland for a three-day leadership conference happening July 10-12 (sold out) or July 14-16 (limited space), depending on your group's selected travel dates. Hear from world-renowned speakers on the Summit theme, attend expert-led workshops, and gain insight into The Impact of Sports & Wellness and everything impacting it today.
Using design thinking—a creative problem-solving technique that's been adopted by companies like Apple and Google—international teams of students will develop and present innovative solutions related to well-being.
