A very special day!

Definitively amazed by the beautiful environment, Rongo University’s students had the great opportunity to talk and discuss with the Italian group of volunteers from Bocconi University about cultural differences and similarities.Personal future perspectives have been the main topics of this day as well as a strong involvement to know each other with a deep sense of curiosity.
After a visit to the Centre has kicked off the official ceremony, animated by the performances of the students dell'IKSDP-TTC college (with kung fu show, theater, song and dance).
