Hi, is anyone out there interested in a fun Italian language and culture group for kids? I have two young grandchildren in Dulwich with Anglo-Italian heritage and we would love to be able to take them somewhere where we can meet similar families and play and sing songs in Italian. Is anyone else interested in this kind of thing? If so, please reply indicating the ages of your kids. '


Grazia

I am not Italian, but when I was younger I spoke quite good italian due to going there frequently first of all on holidays, and then later on for work. I have forgotten most of it, but I would love my children to have an opportunity also of learning it at a young age. It is not a language taught in schools, and so this might be a good way of doing so. They are both young (2 1/2 and 6 months) so I am not in a great rush, but I would be glad to know what's out there.

Just to mention re Lucy A1308's post -

The Italian government funds teachers to come over and teach Italian in London primary schools. I have no idea what conditions apply, but the Italian Cultural Institute in London should be able to tell you about it. I understand that there's a lot of competition for the jobs so the quality of the teaching is very good. One of the teachers who was over on this scheme was living locally a couple of years ago and teaching in, I think, three different Lewisham schools.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
