This three-hour seminar will present some unknown aspects of the Italian culture to the traveler who wishes to interact and learn more about the culture and people of Italy. Through interactive exercises, analysis, and discussions of real-life events, the instructor will focus on cross-cultural differences between the US and the Italian culture, and will address cultural stereotypes and body language. Participants are encouraged to share questions and experiences.
