Venice, Milan, Lucerne & Leadership Conference
As you journey from coastal Italy to mountainous Switzerland—immersing yourself in canals and lakes all along the way— you’ll explore the role water plays in several aspects of society.
In Venice, learn how the city’s aquatic location allowed it to become a European trade hub. Continue on to Milan to discover the role water plays in fashion, then enjoy a boat ride on Lake Como. From there, visit Lucerne to see how water affects health and wellness as you ascend the Swiss Alps and take a dip in an outdoor mineral bath. Lastly, come together 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.
