Summer/ Winter Schools

USI UNESCO Chair organized one of the Summer Schools offered by the Swiss Study Foundation to the smartest students of any faculty.  The main goal was to understand how digital media can help to address current sensitive issues in tourism at heritage places such as cultural and social sustainability.

Realized in collaboration with the University of Coimbra, the school explored the role of digital media in enhancing urban sustainable development within the frame of the UNESCO Creative Cities progamme.

Together with the Università di Pisa, the aim of this Winter School was to offer, in one of the most attractive environmental, monumental and landscape contexts in Italy, a highly educational experience.
