In Geneva, with a more global focus, the students visited international organizations, such as the World Trade Organization<\/a> and the International Labour Organization<\/a>, and non-governmental organizations, including the Women\u2019s International League for Peace and Freedom<\/a>, the Global Detention Project<\/a>, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum<\/a> and other historically important sites. Throughout their time in Geneva, students engaged with specialists who shared their professional expertise on global affairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing these institutions, meeting these real people, and observing the passion and genuine desire to work with other countries on global problems has given me hope in a time of declining

Major visits included the European Parliament<\/a>, the European Court of Human Rights<\/a>, and the Council of Europe<\/a>. Through tours, lectures, and discussions with experts and officials, students gained valuable insight into how these institutions help shape policy and uphold democratic values across Europe.<\/p>\n

These impactful visits could not have been organized without the help of Gabriele G. Mazza \u201968. An Eckerd alumnus and honorary trustee, Mazza eagerly stepped in to help his fellow Tritons with their studies. Not only did he take time out of his retirement to organize and accompany the students on visits and lectures, but he also welcomed them with open arms, encouraging questions and aiding their learning \u201cnot as an expert, but more as a big brother I should hope.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”20717″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]The students met with several Council of Europe officials to learn more about the role of the organization.\u00a0<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]One aspect of his distinguished career was serving as director of education and culture for the Council of Europe. Through his connections, students participated in specialized discussions with members of the European Council, including officials from the Youth Center and the Parliamentary Assembly. This visit was particularly meaningful for Mazza, as it was his final post before retirement, and he had not set foot in that building for nearly 15 years before returning with the students.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGabe Mazza was such an incredible help to me and the rest of the students on our trip.
