Faculty-Led Program in Italy: Entrepreneurship and Italian Food & Wine Culture
A one week corporate-based study-abroad program – based in Offida (Le Marche region) – combining practical entrepreneurship education, company visits, meeting with CEOs and authentic food&wine culture.
Our programs provide short-term learning experiences for groups of students accompanied by their faculty.
Our Learning Philosophy
Our learning philosophy is experiential rather than lecture-based and is structured around four key pillars. This is what we call the “Offida Approach”:
Challenge-Based Learning
Students develop entrepreneurial skills in practice by pitching projects to companies based on real business challenges
Residential Learning
Students share apartments and meals, developing a strong sense of community and intercultural skills.
Community Immersion
We connect students with local stakeholders, including entrepreneurs, associations and cultural institutions, creating an authentic community immersion.
Italian Food&Wine Experience
Students discover Italian food and wine culture through authentic local experiences, tastings and encounters with producers, while promoting responsible drinking.
One-Week Program Fee: €590 per Student. The Fee includes:
Accommodation
Student accommodation is provided in shared apartments with double and triple rooms and a shared kitchen.
Lunches
Daily lunches at the Ciù Ciù Showroom, prepared by an Italian chef.
Study Program Management
Management of the entire study program by our Course Coordinator.
Staff Join Free
With a minimum of 10 students, academic staff join free of charge and stay in a separate apartment, with single rooms when more than one staff member participates.
We co-design the course with your faculty and identify the best time for your students to come to Italy, based on your academic calendar.
