The Art Of Venice

Travelling abroad after leaving school is a tradition that was established centuries ago, and yet for today’s student population, it’s good to see that it is more alive and relevant than ever.

It was in 1965 that John Hall noted the number of people taking gap years before starting university, and so he decided to set up The John Hall Venice Course – a varied programme based in Italy that covered topics, including Venetian art, cinema, film-making and theatre.
