Spring School “Linguistic and Literary Facets”

On 18-20 March, the Spring School “Sfaccettature linguistiche e letterarie: i sentieri della diversità” (Linguistic and Literary Facets: The Paths of Diversity) took place in classroom T.6, providing a deep dive into the life of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of Verona for high school students in their final three years. The event attracted numerous participants and offered insights into the diverse approaches to learning and scientific research in foreign languages and literatures.

Using the metaphor of precious stones and their facets, the program highlighted the teaching and research directions of various foreign languages and literatures offered by the department. It also included other disciplines such as computer science, marketing, management, tourism, and digital humanities. A significant focus was placed on the publishing industry, employment opportunities, and accessibility. Additionally, key services of the department and the university—such as the Internship Office, the University Language Centre, libraries, and Erasmus opportunities—were presented through effective collaboration among various coordinators.

The Department would also like to extend their gratitude to Chiara Giordano, Alessandro Mazzi, and Maryjane Uju Anioke, current and former students, who generously shared their experiences during the event.
