Collaborate with students from across Canada at the Leadership and Innovation Summit in Barcelona and dive into the vast history of Italy's intellectual, scientific and creative innovation. This is the birthplace of the Latin alphabet and the stock exchange, where Galileo invented the thermostat and, of course, it was the Romans who gave us roads, nails, civil law and much more.
