The project was sponsored by the U.S. Embassy in Italy and organized by TESOL Italy.
It consisted in a one-week Teacher Training Course for 15 teachers from different cities in Sicily held by three highly qualified Teacher Trainers from the U.S.A and Italy, and a one-week Summer Camp for 15 students just out of middle school.
The project aimed at enhancing teachers’ language skills and reinforcing resources for a permanent educational community in Sicily through English.
