Why Study Abroad Professionals Choose IMPACT Italy
🌍 Experience the Student Journey Firsthand
As professionals, we often send students abroad without ever walking in their shoes. IMPACT Italy flips that script—inviting you to live the kind of experience you aim to create. You’ll explore Italy not just as a tourist, but as a learner, collaborator, and changemaker.
🛠️ Build Tools for Intentional Program Design
Through interactive workshops and peer exchange, IMPACT equips you with a toolkit to align your global programs with learning outcomes like DEI, sustainability, and intercultural competence. You'll walk away ready to design programs that go beyond "exposure" and create measurable impact.
🤝 Connect with a Global Peer Network
Join a curated cohort of international educators and thought leaders from across the globe. The relationships built during IMPACT often lead to cross-institutional collaborations, joint programming ideas, and lifelong professional support.

From grassroots social enterprises to leading universities and cultural institutions, you’ll engage with a wide range of local partners that highlight Italy’s innovation, resilience, and complexity.
📍Location Matters: Why Florence?
