OVERVIEW

The “Altre attività” (other activities) allow students to broaden their horizon and integrate the acquisition of additional knowledge and skills into disciplinary learning, useful for training and for entering the world of work.

AIMS AND CONTENT

"Other activities" are planned to allow students to experience the external world, in order to encourage the contacts between the formative and professional world. By attending seminars, conferences, workshops and partaking in internships at public or private institutions, students can deepen the knowledge useful for the integration in the job market.

• to acquire transversal and broad knowledge with respect to the training course (participation in conferences, seminars, etc.)
• to acquire extra-curricular skills and competences (participation in workshops, school trips)
• to acquire skills and abilities in the field of foreign languages.
• to acquire skills in the IT field.
