Facilitations

We think that all people have the inalienable right to study and to share every kind of knowledge, but often the institutions and the people who should commit themselves to warrant this right, they themselves defect.
Programma Italiano, within certain limits, is committed to promoting a study of Italian language and culture affordable to as many students as possible, particularly to those who haven't enough money, time or motivation.
Programma Italiano helps them by means of four studying facilitations.

The "PROBORSA" PROGRAM

"It would be so great… but it's too expensive!" . "It is impossible: it is over the presented budget!!!" These are typical sentences that we hear and that leave to us a feeling of powerlessness, as we think that studying and sharing the Culture should be an undiscussed right of all people.
Therefore, from this year on, we are able to give people and organisations the opportunity of setting aside some little amounts of money, that, put together, could become a real scholarship or a discounted enrolment to our courses or, even, a completely free course.
When people, schools, companies and institutions present and recommend us new Guests and Students or when they take part directly in our cultural activities, they can get that the 10% of the price of each achieved enrolment is set aside pro other people, organisations or pro themselves. We will inform the holders of this setting aside action, by means of private e-mails about their "PRO BORSA money-box", so that they can check (whenever they want) the total amount that will be due and that we will allocate as the payment (complete or in part, it depends on the agreement) for the enrolment to one of our courses and cultural services, pro the holders themselves, or pro the other people presented by the holders.
For instance a school could increase its own means, in order to facilitate the enrolments of its own students to our courses, when it presents and recommends us the admission of students from other schools or organisations.
For further information, you can send us an e-mail, of course without obligation for you.

Send us an e-mail, specifying what kind of service you prefer: "Pen's friend" or "E - school".
Both the services are free and without any obligation. The contents will be dealt according to the privacy procedure.
