What鈥檚 the Plan?
Start your day with a purpose! We'll arrive early to begin our hands-on pizza-making session. While the dough rises, we'll explore the inspiring Repubblica dei Ragazzi. After baking and enjoying our homemade pizzas, we'll unwind with a swim at the beach or take a scenic hike in the nearby hills.
How Will We Make a Social Impact?
This trip is more than just fun鈥攊t's an opportunity to contribute meaningfully. You鈥檒l get to meet the residents of Repubblica dei Ragazzi, learn about their incredible self-governed community, and make a direct contribution through your trip fee, which includes a donation to support their ongoing work.
What is Repubblica dei Ragazzi?
Founded in 1945 in Civitavecchia near Rome, Repubblica dei Ragazzi is a remarkable community initially created for children who were orphaned or displaced by World War II. What makes it unique is its self-governed structure鈥攃omplete with a constitution, government, and laws鈥攁ll managed by the adolescents who live there. This innovative educational model fosters values like democracy, responsibility, and civic engagement through real-life experience. Today, the community continues to provide a safe haven and education for vulnerable children, including those from impoverished backgrounds and unaccompanied minors.
Don鈥檛 miss this chance to bake, relax by the beach, and contribute to a better world!
Register by September 7听and be part of a memorable day that blends fun, learning, and social impact.

NAPLES, CAPRI, SORRENTO, AND POMPEII WEEKEND听
Join the Student Life crew for a new twist on our old classic and very popular trips to Capri and Pompeii!
For the first time, we鈥檒l be combining our trip to the beautiful Isle of Capri with a tour of the excavations at Pompeii, a walk around Naples as well as adding overnight stays in the town of Sorrento.
Naples: Italy's third-largest city is one of its oldest, most artistic, and most appetizing. Naples' Centro Storico (historic center) is a Unesco World Heritage Site. Naples is where pizza was invented, and since the 19th century, the Neapolitans have raised it to a fine art!
Capri:听 magnificent coastal walks, flower-strewn mountain slopes and, of course, the shimmering blue Mediterranean sea with its natural wonders which include the magical Blue Grotto and Faraglioni.
Sorrento:听 on the Amalfi coast overlooking the Bay of Naples, this cliffside town offers spectacular views across the bay.听 It is also the home of limoncello.
Pompeii:听 buried under ash and pumice and lost for over 1500 years, this Roman city frozen in time was rediscovered 4 centuries ago.听 Today this UNESCO World Heritage site offers extraordinary insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire.
