Seminars
Cultural
Association
In
addition to the mini-courses
offered on an individual basis, Venice à la Carte also offers a
program of seminars throughout the year which focus on a
specific topic.
The
idea of the seminar is to give our members an opportunity to
return to Venice and experience a particular aspect of the
Venetian culture or environment, together with other members.
Seminars
start on the first Saturday of the month, at 9:00 am, and end
around 5:00 PM.
To
attend, please fill out a registration
