Summer 2023 Participant
The entire experience was incredible. I appreciated the lessons provided by Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, the agency visits, the site tours, the variety of places traveled, and the rich experience of navigating in a different country rich in history and culture.

Summer 2026 Participant
The social work process in Italy has differences but some of the same struggles. It was nice to hear from others to see how we can support our clients back in the United States. Make sure you walk to prepare for the trip, know that you will pay for at least 2 meals a day, plus any drinks (water, soda, Powerade) this can add up in your budget. Also there might be a museum or tour you want to do in your free time so safe the money. Leave time in your day at some point to make sure you are staying ontop of your assignments. The 2 weeks goes by so fast!

Summer 2023 Participant
This program requires a lot of walking, as Italy is not as vehicle orientated as the US. Please be sure to be in good health and have the ability to walk long distances.
