Cultural Heritage and Identity in Sicily

The Cultural Heritage and Identity program at Syracuse Academy caught my attention because of its focus on hands-on learning experiences. The program promised an in-depth exploration of Sicily's rich cultural heritage through a combination of archaeological fieldwork and studies in environmental humanities. This blend of practical and theoretical learning, set in the context of Sicily's landscape, seemed like the perfect way to gain a comprehensive understanding of how cultural heritage shapes and is shaped by societal and environmental factors.
Exploring Sicily's mosaic of cultures was an unforgettable experience. The program's interdisciplinary approach provided a comprehensive understanding of the island's identity. More interactive Italian language sessions would have enhanced the learning experience.
