Italian Teachers Day 2024
Since 2016, we have organised opportunities for teachers of Italian in Secondary Schools to listen to talks, meet each other and exchange ideas.
Date for your diary: In association with the British Council we are organising a special Italian Teachers Day on 2nd March 2024 in London. As well as some practical CPD-style sessions there will be special emphasis on promoting, supporting and even introducing Italian in your school and we are inviting universites to showcase what they do in partnership with schools. More details will follow soon.
Materials from previous days can be found here.
