The Italian Resource Center
promotes and supports the teaching of Italian in Connecticut, thanks to the Partnership among the
Consulate General of Italy in New York, the
Connecticut State Department of Education,
and Central Connecticut State University,
in collaboration with the Italian American Committee on Education
(IACE),
which sponsors and supervises its activities.
The Center
is equipped with books, multimedia materials, and cultural resources
indispensable to the teaching and diffusion of the Italian language and culture.
It regularly organizes professional development workshops for teachers of
Italian in Connecticut, and other educational, cultural and social activities
related to Italy.
The Italian Resource Center is located in Rm. 306, on
the third floor of the Elihu
Burritt Library at the Central Connecticut State University (CCSU)
in New Britain.
By visiting the Center,
teachers and students of Italian can borrow a variety of didactic resources, and
receive assistance in their work and study. The Center is opened to educational
institutions, researchers, teachers, and to all those who are interested in
Italian language, culture and society.
