If you are thinking of having your children participate in a Borders World orientation programme, I recommend you do so, because it will definitely help them in their present and future!

UniUK in particular is an experience that both of my children did in their third year of high school with great enthusiasm and participation that definitely changed their way of perceiving the world and enriched their cultural background.

This is not the usual ‘study holiday’ in the company of friends, but an educational trip that is meticulously organised and shaped taking into account the aptitudes, abilities and needs of each individual participant. The trip, in fact, is the culmination of a training course that begins with a preparatory activity of planning and in-depth study that sees the students under the expert guidance of the staff and with the collaboration of students currently studying at prestigious European universities.

During the trip, the students are immersed in a new cultural context by participating in a series of lectures presenting the universities, introducing them to the English university system and career prospects, they can have individual talks with current students and staff members, participate in some lectures and access workshops, all of course strictly in English.

I believe that the orientation trip and all the prodromal activities are a positive experience for both children and parents because, regardless of what the choice of study path in Italy or abroad will be, it is certainly enriching for our children and makes them much more aware of their own capabilities.  It is an experience of maturation and growth that has enhanced the value of my children's course of study and that I have witnessed in the determination and dedication with which they have chosen and meticulously planned their university course in the knowledge of their own abilities and aptitudes and with the hope of entering the world of work in the best possible way.

I would like to thank the Confine Mondo staff who, with dedication and professionalism, offer the students a unique opportunity to embark on a truly special educational and growth pathway, and I hope that many other students will have the chance to live this wonderful experience.
