On Friday, 20 March 2026, the Italian department’s training day took place at our Merano site, as part of the basic training programme.
The teachers took part in activities such as free role-play speaking tasks and a range of authentic reading activities, through which they worked on identifying language levels and designing controlled writing tasks.
A space for exchange and learning that continues to strengthen our teaching practice.
Our new opening hours:
Monday and Tuesday: 10:15 – 11:15
Wednesday and Thursday: 17:00 – 20:00
Come visit us at our school in Bolzano (first floor), explore our new spaces, and take another step towards your language goals. We’re looking forward to seeing you!
The delivery was made by a delegation consisting of the director, the commander, and officials from the Ministry of Justice, along with the prison chaplain.
Also present were Erjon Zeqo and Stefano Casellato, coordinators of the Ciclofficina and representatives of the Alpha & Beta project.
A moment of great significance, telling stories of redemption, dignity, and a possible future.
Here are two of our new classrooms: bright, welcoming, and ready to host new ideas, exchanges, and a lot of eagerness to learn.
We’re just waiting for you.
The courses are about to start, and this could be the perfect opportunity to start (or continue) your journey.

Over the last 30 years Aldo Mazza has made a name for himself encouraging the two South Tyrolean language groups to live together rather than just to coexist and for this he has been decorated by the Province of Tyrol. 100 years after the region was divided following the First World War, the award of the decoration to Aldo Mazza, a native of southern Italy, has a special significance. He came to South Tyrol some 50 years ago and with the founding of the Alpha & Beta Cooperative created an organisation that has always aimed at promoting intercultural communication and multilingualism. Today the cooperative runs both a language school and a publishing house. Really living together is an art, with language skills being only the first step along this path. Aldo Mazza's decades-long endeavours to achieve this have received official recognition with this decoration of the Province of Tyrol.

Last weekend the Talvera promenade was filled with yellow alpha beta balloons as part of our participation in the 13th Kinderfestival. Hundreds of children (and adults) enjoyed linguistic activities including origami in Japanese, Zumba in Spanish, Arabic writing, face painting in Welsh and salt-dough model making in English. This event was a great success and participants and alpha beta teachers all had a wonderful time. Many thanks to everyone who made the event so special. We look forward to seeing you all there next year!
