Supporting the BBC Radio Cambridgeshire and Thorpe Hall Hospice

, ,

BBC-Radio-CambsLa Dante is proud to support BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, who are organising an auction to raise money for the county’s hospice Thorpe Hall. The hospice has been BBC Radio Cambridgeshire’s chosen charity partner this year, as they are raising funds for a new building to help people in their final weeks and days be cared for in the best way possible.

On December 7th this year, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire are having an On-Air Auction – the station will auction off donated items or experiences to our listeners and encourage them to bid as much as possible to raise funds! La Dante is proud to donate a Summer Cappuccino intensive course in Italian worth £180 to the highest bidder.

Unique language tandem opportunity at La Dante

, ,

Famiglie bilingui

tandem-opportunity-la-dante-cambridgeWe always thrive to be a bridge between Italian and English cultures and this June we have a unique and wonderful opportunity at La Dante:
A European language tandem cooking session where Italian children from a primary school in Chieti in Abruzzo (Italy) is having a cultural exchange with children from La Dante who are learning Italian.

La Dante is an oasis of culture where the two cultures: the British and the Italian meet.

Primary school children from Istituto Comprensivo Chieti, aged 9/10 are coming to learn English and with the English children coming to learn Italian we’ll have cooking sessions, sing, make fairy cakes with Italian flags and coluored marzipan. Singing and miming in English and Italian.
It’s a unique chance for them to have fun, learn and experience a new culture in the heart of Cambridge.
La Dante’s aim is to facilitate cultural exchanges in Britain.

Dates 18/6/2013 venue: La Dante in Cambridge 4.30-6.30pm
