Description
A holiday camp in Italian for girls and boys who live in a multilingual context – come il Camp Autumn holiday 2023 – offers several advantages:
- Development of language skills: immersion in an environment where Italian is the predominant language stimulates their vocabulary, grammar and fluency in communication.
- Culture and traditions: offers the opportunity to explore Italian culture in more depth and feel more connected to your Italian identity.
- Social integration: allows the child to interact with other peers who share the same language and culture, helping them to create new friendships and feel part of a community that shares their linguistic and cultural experiences.
- Cognitive flexibility: Immersion in multiple languages and cultures allows the development of greater cognitive flexibility, improves the ability to adapt to different situations and understand different perspectives.
- Fun learning: The playful and interactive method makes learning Italian fun and engaging and, consequently, more stimulating.
- Self-esteem and confidence: Overcoming language challenges can give you a sense of personal fulfillment and confidence in your abilities.
- Preparing for the future: the development of Italian language skills in bilingual girls/boys may be useful to them in the future, both for personal and professional purposes.
The Herfstvakantie 2023 camp therefore offers an excellent opportunity to improve language skills, explore Italian culture and build meaningful connections, thus enriching the personal and cultural growth of the participants.
Objectives of the camp
Each Stivaletto holiday camp is an opportunity to practice and encourage learning of Italian and make new friends through interaction, collaboration and play.
