Expand your language abilities and discover Italian culture (including the incredible food!) during an immersive language and culture camp. Based in Melbourne, where nearly 40% of Australia’s Italian migrant population lives, Voce Viva focuses on communicative language acquisition. Students will have the opportunity to develop their language skills, tour the city with Italian-speaking guide/s and meet other like-minded language learners.

The Voce Viva Curriculum

The Voce Viva curriculum caters to beginner, intermediate and senior levels of language ability. The curriculum will provide students with 15 hours of intensive language immersion using a communicative approach, complemented by cultural incursions and excursions. The development of the Voce Viva curriculum is led by Gabriella Bertolissi and backed by significant experience in Italian language teaching and curriculum design.

Voce Viva Schedule

Voce Viva runs during the July and September school holidays.

Students can choose the full overnight camp experience (six nights staying at our inner-city Melbourne accommodation) or the day program (classes and activities running from 9am-5pm Monday to Friday)

Students will spend each morning participating in Italian language lessons. Each afternoon is jam-packed with exciting Italian cultural activities including a special guest speaker, a guided tour of Carlton, a cooking class, bocce and more!
