SAG’S MULTI offers the possibility of holding a multilingual speech. In fact, once you have chosen a theme on which to focus your speech, you must prepare a speech during which you must pass from German to another language. Every year a new central theme is proposed which leaves students, of all ages between twelve and twenty years old, ample space for personal experiences and the positions they wish to defend. Councilor Galateo was also very satisfied with the victory achieved by the students of Torricelli High School. This award ceremony also demonstrates the high level of cultural and linguistic skills achieved by the students of our schools. A special thanks also to the teachers who prepare the children for these projects.”
