The ancient coliseums of Rome and the glistening canals of Venice are great landmarks that students could be experiencing if they sign up for the Italy trip next summer.
The trip itself is in the summer of 2022, but sign ups will be due about 60 days before takeoff.
To sign up for the trip or get more information, students can visit the EF Tours website.
“Anybody has the opportunity to go, even students who don’t attend [our school],” says Tiffany Gardea, who is currently in charge of managing the trip.
This trip is a 10-day experience across the grand country of Italy. Students will begin in Milan, then travel to Venice, Florence, Assisi, Pompeii, Sorrento, and finally Rome. They get to experience life in this country as well as see different demonstrations of art creation.
Along with Italy, other trips are being hosted for interested travellers.
In 2022, a trip to Peru that includes a Service Learning component will be hosted.
“In 2023, it’s gonna be England, Ireland, and Paris,” adds Gardea. These destinations are all combined in one eleven day trip.
If money is an issue, the company, EF Educational Tours, provides a page for students’ families and friends to donate and fund their experience.
In full transparency, Eva Goddard, reporter of this story, is attending the trip herself.

I found this flyer very helpful because it helps spread awareness concerning this wonderful opportunity to travel presented to Millikan students. What also stood out to me within this issue was that many who don’t have enough money to pay for their travel can be helped by friends and family through a site set up by EF Educational. I traveled throughout Italy and lived in Florence for a year and absolutely fell in love with the atmosphere and culture. I was a part of the Italian program here at Millikan and am sad that it does not have enough support anymore to keep inspiring and teaching. Within this piece it shows that summer 2022 they will be traveling to Milan, Venice, Florence, Assisi, Pompeii as well as the Sorrento region down south, and finally Rome. I would like to thank you for informing many including myself about this wonderful trip and spreading awareness concerning Italian culture. It was also helpful to see the other options of places to travel in upcoming summers. I will definitely be exploring this trip more and sharing this information with others.

In issue 1/2021 (published October 20, 2021) James Goddard wrote an article titled “Veniamo Italia!” The article mentions a trip to Italy in 2022 for high school students. Before reading the article, I had no idea there was an Italy trip for students to participate in and was quite excited to learn more. The article tells about the places visited in Italy and how long the stay would be in each place adding up to a ten-day trip but I would like to know what we would be able to do in each place and if there were specific places where students could visit. I also would have liked to know the pricing of the trip. I enjoyed the addition of other trips students could sign up for like the 2022 Peru trip and the 2023 England, Ireland, and Paris trip. The image of the map with all the places included in the Italy trip was a nice visual representation of where everything is located and how the trip includes places all over Italy. I did miss the information for the trip even if it was basic like the pricing of the trip. The article was very informative of activities for students and I enjoyed the addition of how any student even if they don’t go to Millikan can still attend the trip. The addition at the end of the writer attending the trip as well was a nice touch to the article.
