Cultural sojours

The cultural department of INFOGESTIONE, among the activities of Programma Italiano, is pleased to present

"The cultural Sojourns by Programma Italiano".

We came to the decision to offer such a personalised and involving service of cultural divulgation because of the present style of life and, in general, of the bad conditions of the cultural activities. In fact, notwithstanding the skill and the irreplaceable work of some cultural operators, that make divulgation by the media means, we notice an irritating standardisation of the cultural messages.

Thanks to this standardisation it is possible, of course, to attract a lot of people, but, on the other side, it sets a limit to the time that the subjects involved should take to be studied deeply.

Besides, we have to consider other problems: many poor proposals and a tourist system which offers travels limited to the sight, without giving the possibility of understanding what people see and visit.

We think that visitors need a different respect, since they are not only customers who pay to benefit from these kinds of services, but they are also persons who merit to be helped to understand what they see.

So, thanks to the long experience matured in the socio-economic research, in the business know-how making, and thank to the experience of Programma Italiano in the teaching research and application, we decided to propose personalised cultural sojourns for small groups of people, in order to allow each visitor to study, share and confront about the most interesting cultural subjects, during the whole period of their sojourn.

On our opinion, this process of personalisation, assimilation and introspective projection of culture is fundamental for every real learning.

So, welcome to the cultural department of INFOGESTIONE and, in particular, to the "Cultural Sojourns by Programma Italiano", where culture is of everybody, for everybody and with everybody.

 

Our mission and our services

The mission of the "Cultural Sojourns" program is to make a very personalised didactic proposal about the prices, the stay and the subjects, in order to allow a real, deepened and personalised learning of the subjects selected by our Guests, so that they are, and feel, the main reference of the sojourn: we don't want that they feel like "wanderers" who have to expiate human cultural gaps.

Our Guests can ask our Public Relations Office, our "promoters" in Italy and abroad, or, easily through internet, for our questionnaire. While completing it, they can indicate their preferences about the period, the duration, the place, the subjects, the service level, the travel and stay formalities. Moreover, they can choose among different subjects and sojourn plans proposed by our company. They will be able to plan to stay in Italy, or abroad, during whatever period of the year, with the purpose of learning or "enjoying" our cultural offers, completely assisted, in an environment where they will be enabled to attain, together with us, whatever target they will decide, not only concerning culture, but also their wellbeing and relaxation.

Of course it is possible to learn Italian, or another useful language, during the sojourns. We particularly insist upon the study of Italian, or of another language, as it would allow our Guests to meet the Italian and European culture more directly and meaningfully.

The "Cultural Sojourns by Programma Italiano": only you and culture.

 

Our organisation and prices

Our organisation counts on the special personalisation, on the regular assistance and on the possibility of the Guests to decide the kind of sojourn they want, choosing among the offers of a program planned expressly for them.

Our Guests will be assisted by someone of Programma Italiano, after their first informal and free request. This person will be a real tutor and will have the responsibility of the sojourn. The tutors will follow and assist our Guests till the end of their sojourns. Besides, by means of our web site, people who have not yet booked any sojourn, can take part in our free cultural activities. In this way they could receive some suggestions about what subject is interesting for a possible sojourn and, finally, they could decide the most suitable sojourn and period, being already able to feel the atmosphere of their "Cultural Sojourn".

Whoever wouldn't know or would be uncertain about the subjects, can choose among those programs which were already realised by our organisation. In this case, as we never provide standard sojourns, those programs would be changed and personalised with the help of our staff, during several meetings or by means of several e-mail communications with our Guest, in order to get to the definition of the whole project.

Our organisation will arrange everything for the sojourn: the bookings, the visits, the shifts, the lodgings and, above all, the lectures, the cultural meetings, the courses and every cultural activity that could take place in the hotels, where the Guests would stay, or outside, and that would be the real and fundamental reason of the sojourn.

In order to offer our Guests the best transparency and a further opportunity to save money, we will not act as intermediary. We prefer that our Guests make their payments dealing directly with the tourist operators (hotels, museums, travel agencies, etc.). Our company will cash exclusively what is due about its cultural and didactical activities, without the increase of price that an intermediary service would require but that we don't want to fulfil, because it is not our job and because, above all, it would put the cultural and didactical activities in the background, while they must be considered the most important mission of our organisation.

Everything we will plan and organise will be transparent, in order to let our Guests free to apply themselves to culture.
