Naples, Italy

Explore, taste, and learn the Neapolitan way

Naples, with its historic centre recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, is a city of striking contrasts and enduring traditions. Its vibrant cultural life and long-standing educational heritage offer teachers an inspiring setting for both personal and professional growth. Naples is also a city where the transmission of knowledge meets educational experimentation – from grassroots schools and non-formal learning initiatives to inclusive, creative, and lifelong education projects.
Culturally, it is celebrated worldwide as the birthplace of some of the most iconic dishes in global cuisine. From the classic pizza Margherita to the city’s rich espresso tradition, its culinary heritage is both a source of pride and a living part of daily life. Just beyond the city lies the remarkable Roman city of Pompeii, buried under volcanic ash after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and astonishingly well preserved to this day.
For teachers, Naples offers not only history and flavour, but also a dynamic context to reflect, connect, and explore new ways of teaching and learning.
