Leadership Conference, Lucerne, Milan & Venice
Begin your adventure in Berlin, exploring The Impact of Water on Society with other teachers and students as you build a shared understanding of how to harness this important natural resource to make a bigger difference around the world.
Then, journey from mountainous Switzerland to coastal Italy—immersing yourself in lakes and canals all along the way—to explore the role water plays in several aspects of society. In Lucerne, see how water affects health and wellness as you ascend the Swiss Alps and take a dip in an outdoor mineral bath. Enjoy a boat ride on Lake Como, then head to Milan to discover the role water plays in fashion. Finally, learn how Venice’s aquatic location allowed the city to become a European trade hub before returning home ready to take action in your own community.
