Four weeks will be spent on campus laying the foundation for the experience abroad, seven weeks in Europe, and the last three weeks back on campus creating a culminating event. During the first two weeks of the program, the group will decide on the form the final project will take, so students can plan ahead as they create their content in Europe.
In Italy and Malta, we will create a balance in our schedules between seeing the art we have
been learning about and creating intentional space to reflect and make meaning, as well as investigating and reporting on the communities around us. Students will be assembling portfolios of written and visual work. Back on campus, this work may be shared with the community in printed form or as an exhibit or video, in addition to a presentation to the College community.
Weeks 1-4:
We will be on campus establishing the foundation for our abroad experience.
Weeks 5-11:
We will travel to Venice, Florence, and Rome, Italy. Then we’ll fly to Valletta, Malta. We’ll spend our time visiting museums, important historical sites, and interacting with locals.
Weeks 12-14:
We will travel back to Principia’s campus to wrap up our classes, papers, articles and presentations.
The program will begin and end on campus.
