Our social activity program
studying Italian and having fun!
The socio-cultural activity program is a fundamental part of the Italian course.
What is the socio-cultural activity program?
It is a weekly program consisting of different afternoon activities from Monday to Saturday. Here are examples of some of the activities during the week:
- city tours
- visits to museums
- films at the cinema
- seminars on the Italian language and cultural topics
- playing games together
- aperitifs
- dinners together
- concerts
- excursions
This is a sample of a weekly program
Monday | guided city tour of Catania or dinner together |
Tuesday | cinema together |
Wednesday | seminar on a social or cultural topic |
Thursday | visit to a museum or social activity |
Friday | games or nightlife together |
Saturday | excursion |
This is just one example because the program changes from week to week. For example, if there is a concert, a play or an interesting cultural event happening, the program will also include these.
Why a socio-cultural activity program?
The weekly program of socio-cultural activities is a very important part of your Italian language course. You will always find yourself in real-life situations (e.g. cinema, theatre, museums, guided tours etc.) in the company of native Italian speakers (e.g. your teachers, guides, chaperones etc.) and these will be fundamental opportunities for you to practise your Italian.
Remember that there is no other way to learn Italian than to dive into a sea of authentic Italian in real-life situations!
