The festival about Italian culture is back in Derry, after last year’s success.
At the entrance visitors will receive their own passport and have it completed with stickers along their pathway through the tour so as to become real Italian citizens!
There will be lots of fun and interactive activities: several stands that will guide visitors through a trip along the Italian peninsula and its traditional cuisine, followed by a quiz to test their newfound knowledge about Italian culture and to discover some more fun facts.
They will also find an interactive reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci ready to answer all their questions along with a variety of other games and activities that will make the experience challenging and fun, also thanks to some Italian music and free food!
Finally, as they leave, they can pick up a free Italian recipe to show off their cooking skills at home.
The event is part of a vocational project “CUL.TUR.E PLUS” within a core project called IO PENSO EUROPEO, developed by 45 Italian students from 5 high schools, funded by the European Programme “Erasmus +”. The project was devised by our sending organisation “Educazione all’Europa” from Ravenna along with their partner North West Academy of English, and has allowed students to come to Northern Ireland and spread the Italian culture!
