About the event
Imagine spending a Saturday morning immersed in the Italian language — writing postcards from imaginary cities, conjuring the smell of a market in Naples, inventing characters and stories, and sharing them with others. That's exactly what this workshop is.
Italy Through Words is a creative, cultural half-day experience where Italian is not just studied — it's lived. Through writing, conversation and storytelling, you'll explore the language from the inside, guided by the richness of Italian places, food, art and everyday life.
You'll leave with new vocabulary, sharper communication skills, and your very own taccuino italiano — a small personal collection of the texts you created during the day.
Who is it for
Suitable for learners at A2 level and above. No need to be advanced — just curious, creative and willing to play with the language.
