The Cagli Project 2026
The Cagli Project is a deep cultural immersion that begins in the beautiful Italian medieval “city” of Cagli in the Apennine Mountains and the Renaissance cities of Urbino and the medieval city of Gubbio. Students will join a team who have been building an ethnography of the community. Ethnographic writing helps one learn to understand the culture from an “insider’s perspective.” Students will be on the ancient Via Flaminia from Rome to the Adriatic Sea, where this unique opportunity will give them the tools to acquire practical language and transmedia skills while using proven cultural immersion techniques. The ability to assimilate quickly and hone in on another culture’s values is an indispensable tool for anyone preparing for a career in a world where globalization and multiculturalism are becoming increasingly important.
