THE PROGRAM:

Join a team of media professionals creating a web documentary on the town of Cagli, Italy, and get a taste of being a foreign correspondent. You'll earn 6 communication credits that you can transfer back to your home campus. During this four-week program, you'll learn

* How to write for the web
* How to take great digital photos
* How to shoot and edit quality video
* How to design sharp web pages
* The ins and outs of intercultural communication
* How to work as part of a production team

We'll also provide basic language classes and interpreters for field work. You'll work in assigned production teams, using computers, digital cameras, and videocameras that we provide. The Palazzo, our computer lab, is open four days a week and some evenings and there's free internet access there. You'll be housed in shared apartments with kitchens and washing machines.
There are plenty of extracurricular activities as well: hiking, biking, cooking demos, wine tasting, dancing, and soccer games. Three-day weekends for independent travel are built into the program; the public bus can take you to nearby cities or the train station, and on Sundays we have a free beach bus to the Adriatic coast. A cell phone, Rome airport pick-up, and some meals are included (cell phone charges apply).

THE TOWN:

Cagli is an ancient town of 15,000 people, nestled on the eastern slopes of Italy's Appennini Mountains in the little-known Marche region of Italy . The Adriatic coast and its beaches are a 40-minute bus ride away, but Cagli has plenty of attractions amid its small cobblestone streets: upscale shopping, a gem of an opera house, a weekly street market, numerous cafes and amazing restaurants, mountain hiking, a modern fitness center, bike rentals, excellent medical care, two hotels, a waterfall, river swimming, and a fantastic, lively piazza.
