Join us for an evening of Italian as Carleton celebrates this year’s “Settimana della Lingua Italiana nel Mondo” (Week of Italian Language in the World) with a theatre performance by students in our Italian courses.
The theme of this year’s event:
“Italofonia: lingua oltre i confini” (Italian Beyond Borders: A Language Without Boundaries).
Representatives of the Embassy of Italy, co-sponsors of the event, will also be on hand to present prizes for essays written in response to the question:
La mia prima parola in italiano: Racconta un episodio significativo legato alla prima parola o frase in italiano che hai imparato e che ha lasciato un segno nella tua vita.
(Talk about a meaningful memory connected to the first Italian word or phrase you learned in Italian)
