Once again this year, the University of Foggia is welcoming students in their final years of high school who are beginning to think about their future, with orientation activities designed to give them a firsthand look at the university’s academic offerings and help them learn about its degree programs.

On February 5, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Unifg will open its doors for its annual Open House at the “V. Spada” Auditorium (Via Caggese No. 1, Foggia).

This year’s Open Day will be dedicated to the “Story Factory” and will aim to give greater visibility to the stories of faculty and students who are part of the University, with the goal of bringing students closer to the academic community through workshop-style presentations of real, shared stories and experiences from those who live them.

Following the opening remarks, the event will feature a motivational speech by Cristiano Carriero, storyteller and founder of La Content, on the power of stories and the importance of recognizing and making sense of experiences to build the future, followed by narrative-based orientation activities tailored to each department.
