A suitable week for the summer school could be August 18-25, 2010.
The decision to start on a working day and not during the week-end was taken because on Saturday
the 14th and Sunday the 15th there is a very important holiday in Italy that could make transportation
difficult and uncomfortable. Furthermore flights close to national holidays can become very expensive.
We scheduled August 18th and 25th
for arrival-registration and
departure respectively
19-24 August are five and a
half working days and a free
afternoon for a trip.
We are also planning evening activities
that could include meals outside the
hotel, visiting nearby cultural and tourist
sites, music concerts and movie
projection in the hotel’s conference
room, parties etc.
There is also the possibility to
organize a one day trip on
Wednesday 25th if
participants want to stay in
Sicily an extra day or have an
evening flight.
