Understanding Italy (A12)
A short course for people who may speak a little Italian. The level of Italian is not important as it will be taught mainly in English but will use key Italian words and phrases to highlight some of the points discussed. It focuses on how culture, religion and multiple invasions have shaped modern Italy and the impact this has had on its business environment, politics and professional organisations. To help us understand Italy we will look at the national anthem, the Italian family, migration, regional differences, dialects and customs and the concept of bella figura (adapting to situations with style).
