LdM Florence Student Clubs

Student Clubs are small associations where students can explore new interests in a socially inclusive environment while immersing themselves in Italian culture. Following LdM philosophy and mission, LdM Student Clubs’ goal is that of promoting the students’ personal and spiritual growth, which can be strongly improved by a cultural experience abroad.

The LdM Student Clubs aim for a balance between mutual interaction, socialization, introduction, and participation in the host community. For this reason, LdM cooperates with a variety of respected institutions and associations working in Florence in a wide range of fields. 

The LdM Clubs Coordinator, in collaboration with the Academic Advisors, coordinates and promotes leadership, community development opportunities, and participation in a wide range of diverse and inclusive clubs and organizations at LdM.

*Clubs are temporarily suspended. LdM is evaluating the possibility to restore the LdM Florence Clubs, according to the situation of  the pandemic.

Here are some examples of clubs organized by LdM Florence:

PILATES

Pilates is a method of body training based on using positioning and gravity to work the muscles. This club provides students with an opportunity to take care of themselves and exercise. It gives students the opportunity to understand the practice of Pilates and its mental and physical health benefits.

SOCCER

The Soccer Club (Calcio in Italian) invites students to develop their soccer skills in challenging, team-based training sessions held at a local pitch. Playing soccer is a way for students to stay active as well as an opportunity to participate in an intrinsic component of Italian culture.

VOLLEYBALL

The Volleyball Club holds weekly practices at a local volleyball court where students learn volleyball techniques while engaging in an energetic team environment.

BOARD GAME CLUB 

Board games are internationally loved, a great way to meet new friends and have fun. Both games in English and Italian are played – but extra points are earned if the winner remembers to yell ho vinto
