New Programme

Linguaviva are also proud to announce the launch of their new three-week Italian Language and Creative Culture Summer Programme in Florence for students 18+.

This exciting course combines Italian language study with creative and design-focused elements and has been developed in partnership with Istituto Europeo di Design (IED), one of Italy’s most prestigious fashion and design academies, bringing together the expertise of both institutions to deliver an immersive academic and cultural experience.

Students will study Italian in the mornings with Linguaviva, before attending creative classes in the afternoon led by IED. The programme features modules including a fashion culture workshop, a Design & Made in Italy lab, and an introduction to arts, visual communication and visual storytelling.

With visits to landmarks and museums across Florence, the summer programme combines Italian language learning with hands-on creative exploration in one of Italy’s most inspiring cultural capitals.
