Le nostre 4 tappe for you!
London (July 18th-23rd)
Vivremo un’esperienza completamente immersiva, tra arte, letteratura, architettura e lingua inglese. Scopriremo la città attraverso dei walking tours, parchi e luoghi simbolo. A piccoli gruppi, i ragazzi faranno delle ricerche ed esploreranno i monumenti più importanti per poi raccontarli (in inglese!) e presentarli al resto del gruppo. Sentiremo un coro al St Paul’s Cathedral. Assisteremo agli spettacoli di Shakespeare nel famoso teatro del Globe (avremo preparato i testi insieme in modo che i ragazzi possano seguire bene!). Visiteremo dei musei, con qualche visita guidata/interattiva, o sperimenteremo l’architettura di questa meravigliosa città, da Christopher Wren ai contemporanei, scrivendo sempre le nostre impressioni. Londra sarà così non solo una meta da visitare, ma una vera esperienza culturale e linguistica, da vivere e condividere insieme. giorno dopo giorno.
Informal classes in English conversation continue all day until 7:00 (dinner and relax time!) Everyplace we visit, whether it is St. James’ Park or the British Museum, each student will be asked to say a sentence or two in English about their impressions (don’t worry, staff will help you!).
Excursions will include: London’s squares, bridges, Tower, but also the Thames River with the experimental Milennium bridge and, of course, London’s wonderful neighbourhoods, The Houses of Parliament, Camden Town, Portobello Road, St Paul’s Cathedral etc…We’ll take a walk through London’s famous Gardens and parks: especially St James (which Virginia Woolf loved and wrote about) but also Hyde Park and Regent’s Park. Last but not least, we’ll visit many museums: The Tate British, Tate Modern, National Gallery, British Museum (several Museum tours and a wonderful Talk and Draw Session at the National Gallery) and, if we have time, the Courtauld Gallery.
London home-base: Palmer’s Lodge Hostel, an elegant, renovated Victorian home.
