Italian Education as a Business: the Rise of Italian schools in the Bay Area March 27, 2008 - 6:30 PM
631 O’farrell Street, San Francisco
The emergence of a new generation of Italian entrepreneurs and professionals in the Bay Area, coupled with a renewed interest in Italy as a global center of culture, have fueled the growth of various educational institutions, each with its own personality but all with one major element in common: a desire to make Italian culture part of our everyday life.
BAIA has assembled a panel of key representatives from Italian educational institutions in the Bay Area to discuss whether we are really living a Renaissance in Italian culture in the Bay Area, and what lies ahead for their businesses.
BAIA will host a panel style discussion that will address questions such as:
Are we witnessing the beginning of a boom in Italian pre-school education?
How are educational institutions responding?
What role will social and economic factors play in the future?
Can a viable primary education business be made out of this?
Is there room for a pan-Italian school like the Germans or the French have?
Event Panelists:
Marco Salardi - Italian Consulate Education Counselor
Rosella Pusateri - Girotondo Italian School (Marin)
Valentina Imbeni - La Piccola Scuola Italiana (SF)
