To positively sustain Florences reputation as a historic yet contemporary Italian cityscape in a globalized world

economy in the following ways:

Increase our efforts in favor of sustainable hospitality and tourism starting from our own structures and teaching

methods.

Promote student knowledge and capacity to recognize and actively part icipate in the conservat ion of the

Florentines cultural and economic heritage.

To shape students for careers in a rapidly developing industry that encompasses a wide range of exciting, constantly

evolving fields.

VALUES

To offer a passionate, highly competent and international faculty; a broad curriculum, and state of the art facilities that

broaden our students horizons and perspectives.

To enhance the concept of technical learning by integrating training opportunities into the curriculum, allowing for

students to be involved in cultural integration projects that require active participation in Florentine and Italian society

and that reward challenging professional experiences. One such example is experiential learning through Ganzo and

Fedora, the student-operated restaurant and pastry lab open to the public and where cultures and communities unite.

An academic structu re based on lectures, workshops, seminars, and laboratories that activates diverse types of studentengagement with study discipline.

STUDENT SHOWCASE

An asset of the program is the opportun ity to showcase student work at FLY, the non-profit re tail store of FAST,alongside professional emerging designers based in Italy. All works produced by students will be featured with

garment specifications, photographed, and published for promotion on school websites. Garments will undergo a

selection process for in-store and classroom placement. Furthermore, FAST experiential learning and internship

students will then utilize these items to create window displays and other special installations throughout the season.

For this reason, it is not possible for students to take garments, accessories, and the like home upon course completion.

In the event that a garment is sold, all profits will go toward FUA scholarship funds for future FAST students.
