Festival of Hope is a school initiative focused on sustainability and social responsibility. On April 9, 2025, ISB hosted Festival of Hope. The day included student-led arts and theatre workshops and connected participants from across Italy and Azerbaijan.
Festival of Hope was organized by ISB students Marco, Martina, and Altea. Student organizers led the event. This demonstrates student leadership in ISB's campus events.
School trips extend learning beyond the classroom and are designed to enrich academic, personal, and social development. Trips range from local visits in Bologna to outdoor adventures such as hiking in the mountains or diving in the sea. During trips, students participate in activities and sports such as archery, rock climbing, ziplining, and survival skills courses. These experiences develop physical abilities, confidence, communication, teamwork, and relationships.
