Completed project
Overseas Peru & Italy
The project Overseas Peru & Italy was born thanks to a convention between Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Milano and Università Cattolica Sedes Sapientiae (UCSS), signed on June 7th 2001. It gives the possibility to nine Peruvian students of getting an internship in Italian institutions.
Almost all the students of UCSS come from one of the poorest areas in Lima, a district which has low levels of education and a certain instability about social and helpful services.
The birth of the UCSS in this district of Lima represented, according to the intentions of founders, a contribute for the development and the human, social and economic growth of the population in the future.
The introduction of internship periods in an academic curriculum and the possibility for students to get their internship in a developed country as Italy and in particular Lombardy are two absolute news.
