Accademia Project
Based in Ferrara, Italy, Accademia is an educational project that aims to encourage young people to discover themselves and the reality surrounding them, in order to understanding its meaning and become responsible adults. The Scientific Committee behind the project includes international professors and professional figures that, in collaboration with an educational network based in Ferrara, elaborate cultural paths and an educational proposal designed to deepen different fields of study.
Ultimately, the purpose of Accademia is to inspire self-reflection in its participants, that they might consider the human being and the search for truth, based on a unitary perspective of knowledge and life.
Campus Santa Teresa
On October 4th, 2021, Accademia opened its official Campus named after Saint Teresa. The Campus is designed to host up to 14 students.
The main purpose of the Campus is to provide continuity to the project’s educational endeavor, in order to enhance the academic and personal experiences of the university students involved.
