Cultural Events Programme
We regularly arrange get-togethers in the evenings or at weekends to allow our members a chance to have fun speaking English.
In cineforum meetings we talk about the themes considered in films and tv series popular at the moment.
Going for breakfast before looking around an exhibition is a lovely start to a Sunday.
Meeting up with talented craftspeople to share tips and tricks is a great idea; recently a group has been meeting once a week to chat while crocheting or knitting.
If you don't like the sound of these we'd be happy to hear your ideas!
All Our Members are encouraged to participate with ideas and themes for the events, as well as joining in those proposed by our staff. The objective is simple: jump in and use your English, at any level! Other activities include walks, trips, dinners and brunches. Let us know what you want by texting, emailing, or speaking up at any event, or at the General Members' Meetings. It's your call!
Concerts and Theatre
One of the great things about La Spezia is the choice of venues for concerts around here in the summer. Every year we are lucky enough to see some exceptional international artists. Here are a few testimonials from concerts our members have been to
Hikes and strolls
