Italian American Partnership |

The initial meetings involve educating students and parents as to the aims and objectives of the program. After students are chosen as participants, they prepare for the arrival of their Italian partners. Trips in the U.S. include New York City, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. After hosting Italian students for roughly 3 weeks, students prepare for their trip to Italy, which includes visits to cities such as Rome, Florence and other parts of Tuscany. Students are immersed in the Italian way of life for roughly 3 weeks. The major aims of this program are to improve student interpersonal communicative skills, but to also foster a respect and understanding for other cultures and customs. Meetings occur as necessary and involve parent participation as well. |
