From the Alps to Sicily and Sardinia, Italy is rich in superstitions, rituals and curious traditions passed down through generations. In this lively five-week course, we will explore some of the most common beliefs from across the country, discovering their origins, cultural meanings and the surprising stories behind them. The class is interactive and student-centred, with discussions, games and short role plays that allow you to explore the topic while practising Italian in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

Please, note that the contents of the two classes are the same, but some activities and the language used in class are graded based on the level.

This class will take place on QUB campus
