The Institute of Italian culture (NGO) provides courses of Italian language in its classrooms located in M. Kostava st. 68, (at public Georgian Broadcaster, III building, II floor), right besides Heroes square.

Courses are held by qualified Georgian and Italian teachers and benefit from the participation of Italian volunteers within the frame of the Erasmus+ or ESC (European solidarity corps) programme, specifically for conversation and informal language exchange.

Courses are being held in an informal and stimulating atmosphere, with classes composed by a small number of students (an average of 3 for class), every day from 13.00 to 20.00 from Monday to Friday, and are aimed at intercultural exchange, inclusion, and solidarity.

If you are enthusiast of Italian language and culture, and you are interested to participate in an intercultural exchange with native Italian speakers (as well as Georgian qualified teachers and interpreters) in an environment distinguished by the right balance between professionalism, and a sympathetic and friendly atmosphere, feel free to call us at this number: (+995) 598 15 55 77 (Manana Jokharidze) or write at istitutoculturaitaliana@gmail.com to arrange a meeting or to find out more.
