Trip to Rondine Centre, Italy
For three weeks this summer, students from King's had the opportunity to study in Arezzo, Italy and to earn credits in Social Justice and Peace Studies and Italian Language and Culture while at the Rondine Centre for Peace. Students completed coursework in Italian conversation and a class in the Ethics of Engaging with Others. In addition to these two courses, students had the opportunity to visit a number of key humanitarian organizations working on the front-lines of the current crisis.
