School Trip to Italy
Kuwait National English School organized an educational
overseas trip to Italy. Once again after a gap of 2 years students got the
opportunity to explore, experience and expand their understanding of different
cultures. The tour took place from the 25th of February to the 2nd
of March 2023. A group of 25 enthusiastic students set off on a 6-day visit to
the eternal city of Rome and beautiful Venice. The spectacular sight of Rome
still mesmerizes you with the glory of an ancient civilization. Students
visited the Colosseum and learned the history surrounding this awe-inspiring
monument. Other places of interest included the Trevi fountain, Novona Square,
the Pantheon and Spanish Steps. Students learned about ancient Rome and its
culture. No visit to Italy is complete without a visit to Vatican City.
Students spent a whole day there visiting the museums and sightseeing through
the streets of the world’s smallest state. The team then headed to Venice, the
Floating City. Students explored the numerous pathways and canals while
enjoying a boat (Gondola) ride and learning the history of trade and commerce
in Venice. Students also visited St Mark's Square and the Bridge of Sighs. A
highlight of the day in Venice was the visit to an old glass factory which
produces the world-famous Murano glass, renowned for the original products they
produce through skilled craftsmen who have learned the trade from their
forefathers. Students were able to see some amazing pieces of glasswork and
purchase them directly from the store.
A wonderful trip where memories were created. We
continue to enhance learning at KNES through these overseas trips.
