Educational Trips – WBL Program in Puglia

These trips represent a comprehensive educational opportunity for secondary schools. They combine the cultural experience of Puglia with structured WBL programs, offering upper secondary classes a school trip that goes far beyond simple tourism.

Cultural Itinerary: UNESCO Heritage and Traditions

The 4-day program begins with a guided visit to Matera and its UNESCO Sassi, including the Casa Grotta and rock-hewn churches. The itinerary continues with Ostuni, the “White City,” and Alberobello with its UNESCO trulli.

The experience is enriched with an environmental education visit to the Fasano Safari Zoo and concludes in Polignano a Mare and Bari, with the Basilica of San Nicola, providing a complete overview of Puglia’s cultural heritage.

Training Paths for Work-Based Learning

The educational trips integrate training experiences at local companies in the agri-food, technology, and economic sectors. These workshops allow students to apply theoretical knowledge through experiential learning.

Company visits, tailored to the field of study, foster transversal skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, and communication—essential for the professional development of high school students.

Extracurricular Activities and Personal Growth

During extracurricular sessions, students take part in interactive workshops and meetings with professionals, developing leadership and collaboration skills. Every moment of the trip is designed to maximize educational impact through innovative teaching methods.
