I have been working with AIFS Abroad since 1998. I was born in Malta, but I moved to Italy at a young age. Before earning my M.A. in Education from the University of Florence, I had the opportunity to study abroad myself, spending a memorable summer in the U.S. That experience sparked my love for travel and my passion for exploring and comparing different cultures. Working with young people gives me energy and since I truly love Italy, my goal is to help you discover and appreciate our culture through the courses and activities we offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is very important to me to share my time with you during your program in Florence and to get to know you personally. I look forward to welcoming you and exploring together all aspects of this wonderful country!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Program Director provides academic advice, introduces you to the community and handles communication with the University.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-tabs__button-wrapper\">\n\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"block-tabs__button\" data-target=\"page-block-29\">\n\t\t\t\t\tCultural Activities\t\t\t<\/button>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"page-block-29\" class=\"block-tabs__tab-content\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"print-only\">\n\t\t\tCultural Activities\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\n\n<p>Learning does not begin or end in the classroom.
