Intercultural Citizenship and Italian Language

Immerse yourself into the unknown and authentic Italian region of Molise through our unique programs of Intercultural Citizenship and Italian language instruction. Live like a local in a beautiful medieval city, whether Termoli or Campobasso, and build lasting friendships with the native Molisani and fellow participants alike. Soak up the sun and bathe in the Adriatic, or explore Campobasso and its surrounding rolling hills dotted with small villages, all while learning to bridge cultural differences, sampling unparalleled local foods and wines, and enjoying a variety of optional cultural, historical, and outdoor weekend activities and hands-on experiences. Choose among Sì! by the Sea, Intensive, Conversational, and Online programs.

You will walk away with expanded Italian language competence; a new appreciation for Italian culture and food; the Global Competence Certificate and a plan for continued personal development; and a lifetime’s worth of memories. Andiamo!
