20th Week of Italian Language in the World
Italian between words and images: graffiti, illustrations, comics
Each year the Italian language is celebrated worldwide during the Week of Italian Language in the World, an initiative of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation which in 2020 has reached its 20th edition.
For the past four years in Australia, the Italian Embassy has celebrated the week by organising a National Convention for Australian Teachers of Italian which has been hosted in Canberra (2016, 2017), Sydney (2018) and Melbourne (2019). This year it is Brisbane’s turn, and the event will be virtually hosted by the Italian Language Centre (a division of Co.As.It. Community Services Ltd). Due to the current restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic the conference be delivered via Zoom from the Italian Language Centre.
The theme of the 20th Week of Italian Language in the World is: Italian between words and images: graffiti, illustrations, 
comics. As in past years, the convention will open with key addresses by notable local and international speakers who are experts in the field of language learning. The second half of the convention will take the form of workshops organised through the Zoom ‘break out rooms’ feature.
Participation in the conference is free for teachers of Italian, who should register their attendance by 8/10/2020 through the following link:
