Coffee Study Program
A journey from Turin to the Dominican Republic to discover sustainable coffee.
The project
Coffee Study Program is a journey from Turin to the Dominican Republic to gain hands-on experience of the measures and good practice that can improve the impact of coffee production on the environment and on communities.
An expedition to discover sustainable coffee, our commitment towards the land and the farmers and our support for local organisations involved in the production processes.
Four young people and 12,000 hectares of nature
The Coffee Study Program involved four young students from different countries who share the same vision of a sustainable future, selected in collaboration with the SDSN Youth Association. They are all studying different degree programmes but share the same objective: looking after our planet.
