The College encourages students to fully benefit from exposure to the cultural riches of Italy. The area offers remarkable opportunities for cultural education, and the World Cultures department organises for students a programme of cultural visits to such artistic centres as Venice, Bologna, Aquileia, Rome and Padova.
In addition, students are encouraged to attend music recitals, to visit museums and to develop their interests through the many opportunities provided in this culturally and linguistically diverse region.

Several times during the school year, college students present a show in public which consists of traditional dances, sketches and music. Any donations are given to a charitable cause such as the Refugee Camp in Uganda which is sponsored by the Adriatic College.

Conferences on a particular theme are scheduled for an entire school day. Guest speakers give lectures and workshops with small groups of students are organized for further discussion. Recent themes have been: World Religions, Science, Conflict Resolution, The Middle East Conflict.

Usually one drama production is performed during the year. A group of students with the supervision of a member of the teaching staff, choose a play which is then performed in public. Students take care of all aspects of the production including direction, costumes, scenery and make up.

In the course of the academic year, groups of students belonging to a common linguistic area such as the Balkans, Asia, Latin America/Spain etc. introduce the other college students to their traditions during the Native Speakers Week. They cook national specialities, wear traditional costumes. illustrate special features of their countries and sponsor other cultural initiatives.

The march "Young Builders of Peace" took place in early October when college students and other participants from local schools walked across the border to Slovenia from Duino. Each student brought a stone from his/her home country with which to contribute to the peace pyramid. Workshops on Peace and Conflict Resolution followed.

 

Each Sunday evening, a student makes a presentation on current events/international affairs which usually concern a topic related to his home country. For example: U.S. Elections, Migration, The Condor Plan in South America, Missing persons in Belarus.
