Some milestones are not measured in years, but in the memories, and connections they create.
This year, Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Milan celebrated 20 years of welcoming students from all over the world to the heart of Milan. Since opening in 2005, the school has welcomed more than 20,000 students, united by a love for the Italian language.
For this anniversary, on 6 June the school brought together students, teachers, alumni, and partners for a full day of activities in Milan. It was a day of learning, cultural exchange, and celebration.
Participants took part in activities on Italian cinema and culture, fashion, communication, and new ways of learning and teaching Italian. The programme also included sustainability interactive activities.
Of course, no Italian celebration would be complete without moments of joy and togetherness. The day continued with music, a dance class, and a traditional Italian aperitivo.
Most of all, the anniversary was about people. It was a chance to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and celebrate the many stories that have passed through the school's classrooms over the last twenty years.
"What an unforgettable day! Celebrating 20 years of Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Milano was an explosion of emotions, laughter, and shared happiness. We want to deeply thank our incredible teachers, administrative staff, wonderful students, welcoming host families, suppliers, and the colleagues who joined us from Florence, Rome, Turin, and Viareggio. You are the heart of this school! The day was filled with fun games, educational activities, and amazing food. Thank you for these 20 years of harmony and love for the Italian language. Here's to the next chapters together!"
The Directors Wolfango Poggi and Sanda Stevanovic.
The event also reflected the school's commitment to sustainability. As a member of Green Standard Schools, Scuola Leonardo da Vinci Milan works to make sustainability part of everyday school life. Guests enjoyed a vegetarian and vegan menu, together with organic and vegan wines from In Vino Vegan, a partner that shares the school's values.
One of the most engaging activities was "Eat Plants, Plant Trees – The Future of the Planet Is in Our Hands." Through an interactive team challenge led by Trattato Plant Based, participants explored topics such as climate change, air pollution, biodiversity, and sustainable food systems
Twenty years is an important milestone, but it is also just the beginning. Thank you to everyone who has been part of our story so far. We can't wait to see what the next chapter will bring. We look forward to welcoming you in Milan!
