GreenItalian is a project of the cultural association Strade e Radici and stems from the innovative idea of three girls who have returned to their region after having lived abroad, with the passion of Italian Language teaching and the desire to make their land known abroad.

GreenItalian avails itself of highly qualified mother-tongue teachers, who graduated in humanities, attended training courses in teaching Italian as FL/L2 and acquired expertise through several experiences in teaching Italian language and culture both in Italy and abroad.

They will fill you with enthusiasm and will accompany you during your stay in Italy sharing with you their love for this land and its traditions. Your study holiday in the heart of Italy will be a  unique and unforgettable experience!
