How does Istituto Marangoni help me while in Milano?
Istituto Marangoni aims at improving the student experience by building a strong sense of protection in and out of the school.
Istituto Marangoni partnered with International SOS. International SOS offers a portal (and app), dedicated to all students of Istituto Marangoni 24/7: not only an easy way to find useful numbers and contact information, but also good advice for traveling abroad.
- Medical assistance and support: students are offered an unlimited telephone consultation with the dedicated school staff;
- Advice and alert system: the platform is activated in the event of a crisis and provides immediate response when an emergency occurs. It includes a multi-modal communication option to enable prompt assistance.
Please note that International SOS does not replace your health insurance. All services will be made available to you in your native language, so that no barriers can keep you from feeling safe and protected
Psychological well-being can be achieved by maintaining a positive outlook on life by developing effective coping strategies to reduce and manage stress, and through accepting and exploring oneself.
