IH Southern Italy Conference
IH Southern Italy Conference
20 Gen, 2018

The 2nd Annual IH Southern Italy Conference was held at IH Palermo Language Centre (as always a very warm, friendly and organised host) January 20-21, 2018, and presented an amazing opportunity for teachers from Palermo, IH British School Reggio Calabria and IH Giga Catania to participate and share their teaching best practices. Among the speakers were four of IH British School Reggio Calabria teachers, who presented on a diverse range of topics:

  • Sanchia Rodrigues spoke about the importance of helping students prepare for productive tasks in '99% Preparation, 1% Inspiration'. 
  • Matthew McGeever spoke about the role of providing a nurturing and creative environment in 'Inspiration, Stimulation, Cultivation:  Visual Art in the EFL Classroom’
  • Francesca Berlen and Aika Fortunato joined their storytelling prowess in 'YLs and the Magic of Storytelling'.

A special thank you to former IH British School Reggio Calabria Director of Studies, James Blackburn, who started the first training day in Reggio Calabria last year and congratulated everyone on their achievement.  Thank you, James, for your inspiration and drive in getting such a wonderful event off the ground!
