New Frontiers Team 1: A Time-Traveling Journey Through European Eras
The first team of the SkillBoosters DiscoveringEU: New Frontiers project traveled across numerous European cities between September 8–19, 2025, on an extraordinary journey exploring the trends, atmospheres, and spaces of defining historical eras. Each city on their route represented a different epoch — from postmodernism to antiquity.
Stop 1 — Munich, Germany (The Postmodern Era) — The journey began in Munich, described by the team as “an exhibition of the art of novel self-expression and Christian modesty.” They discovered the multiculturalism of modern metropolises, surfing on the river emerging from beneath the city, and the technological achievements of IAA Mobility Week.
Stop 2 — Milan, Italy (The Modern Era) — The team began at the Milan Cathedral with views of the brutalist Velasca Tower and the “solarpunk” Bosco Verticale. They visited the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana and took a spin on the “lucky bull” in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
Stop 3 — Nice, France (The Baroque Era) — A visit to the beach along the Promenade des Anglais, Baroque architecture in the city center, the basilica, and the Palais Lascaris. They concluded at the Musée des Beaux-Arts.
Stop 4 — Naples, Italy (The Medieval Era) — The team explored Spaccanapoli street, the Sansevero Chapel, Castel Sant’Elmo, and experienced classic Neapolitan sights — legendary pizzerias, Maradona murals, and black sand beaches.
Stop 5 — Rome, Italy (Antiquity) — The final stop was the Eternal City: the Colosseum, Trajan’s Column, the Pantheon, and Sant’Ignazio di Loyola church. Thus concluded the first team’s time-traveling journey — from postmodern Munich to ancient Rome.
