Food, Media, and Tourism in Italy and Spain

Embark on an unforgettable program in two historically and culturally rich cities and take courses that blend culture, sustainability, journalism and business. Spend the first five weeks in Siena, Italy, a city steeped in medieval charm and world renowned for its culinary traditions. You will dive into a food and sustainability course where you will learn how Italian culture champions sustainability in agriculture and gastronomy. You will learn firsthand from everyday people about the complex food-related issues and develop new insights into the ways in which food mediates social, political, cultural, environmental, and economic processes. You will also take a media course and learn about local media efforts as it pertains to agriculture, gastronomy, and beyond.  

Next, travel to Segovia, Spain for the final five weeks of your program. Famous for its stunning aqueduct, various architectural styles, and vibrant food scene, Segovia offers the perfect backdrop for your Spanish Food and Culture course. In this course, you will learn about local festivals, traditions, holidays, and cultural practices all while learning about history, geography and gastronomy.  The Tourism Business in Spain course will introduce you to the different types of tourism in Segovia and Spain and develop your understanding of how tourism functions as a business within a specific national context all while developing a tourism venture idea. 

GEO program fees cover tuition, housing, and some meals, excursions, books and course materials, local transportation passes, and on-site orientation. Insurance and a 24-hour emergency service are also included. For scholarship funding information, please visit our website's Scholarships page.
