High School Study Abroad in Venice, Italy

Venice has been called the most beautiful city built by man, and while walking its cobblestone streets over sprawling bridges and canals it’s not hard to understand why. Once the center of a powerful republic, Venice has thrived for hundreds of years floating pristinely on the Venetian Lagoon at the north end of the Adriatic Sea. A city of music, masks, and memories waiting to be created, Venice is one of the most fascinating European destination you can choose for high school programs abroad.

How a Photography Workshop in Italy Changed Me

November 22, 2025by: Holly Shilale - United States

Program: Travel For Teens: Italy Travel Photography Workshop

10

My teen travel photography program in Italy was one of the most transformative experiences I've ever had. I arrived not knowing anyone and unsure of what to do expect, but I left with new friends, new skills, and a new sense of confidence in myself and my creative abilities. Each day offered something different and unforgettable, from wandering through the narrow Florence streets with our cameras, learning how to tell a story through a single image, and challenging myself to photograph people, moments, and places that pushed me outside my comfort zone. I learned quickly that photography is not just about taking a pretty picture but about paying attention to being present and finding connection wherever you are. What surprised me most was how the trip helped me grow personally. Being far from home encourages me to step up, be independent, and say "yes" to things I might normally hesitate to try. By the end of the workshop, I felt braver, more open-minded, and more grounded in my own creativity. The counselors created a supportive environment where trying new things felt exciting instead of scary, and the group truly became a small community of its own. This program didn't just teach me how to take better photos, but it helped me see the world, myself, with a more curious and confident perspective. I'm incredibly grateful for the experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for adventure, artistic growth, and meaningful connection.
