Trieste, 15 maggio 2020

Cari Studenti, Soci e Famiglie AIA FVG,

Grazie per il vostro continuo sostegno all’AIA FVG e partecipazione nei nostri corsi. Come sapete, abbiamo lavorato molto duramente per offrire nuove opportunità ai nostri soci. Di fronte all'incertezza della crisi di Covid-19, abbiamo adottato misure immediate per adattare i nostri corsi alla nuova situazione. È stata un'esperienza di costante apprendimento e scoperta, anche per noi!

Abbiamo terminato la Sessione Invernale creando lezioni self-paced, inviati una volta alla settimana. Abbiamo fatto del nostro meglio per elaborare lezioni ponderate e di alta qualità che i genitori potevano svolgere a casa con i propri figli o che gli adulti completavano alla propria velocità sapendo che eravamo lì per sostenerli fino in fondo. Volevamo finire la Sessione Invernale che era stata interrotta dalla pandemia nel modo più positivo possibile - perché era la cosa giusta da fare per i nostri studenti e, perché ci dava una grande gioia poterlo fare. Il feedback è stato positivo ed incoraggiante, il che ci ha portato ad aggiungere due ulteriori cicli di lezioni a un ritmo ridotto per consentire a coloro che erano interessati di continuare con noi. Allo stesso tempo, ci ha offerto un'opportunità unica per sperimentare nuovi contenuti e tecniche.

È stato naturale per noi voler parlare di ciò che stavamo imparando nelle sessioni online. Questo contatto diretto è stato per noi un'ancora di salvezza, qualcosa su cui potevamo contare in un momento in cui quasi nulla è certo. Siamo cresciuti esponenzialmente come insegnanti, studenti e persone negli ultimi tre mesi attraverso queste sessioni online.

È sempre stata la nostra missione servire la nostra comunità e divertirci mentre lo facevamo. La popolarità delle nostre nuove lezioni evidenzia il fatto che i nostri studenti hanno un grande senso dell'umorismo, amano imparare e vogliono anche divertirsi! Come insegnanti, non potremmo chiedere di più!

Siamo grati per il feedback positivo e siamo entusiasti del futuro. Trascorrere più tempo a casa ci ha dato molto tempo per pensare e pianificare ciò che vogliamo fare nei prossimi mesi: più cicli di lezioni, un laboratorio di scrittura per adulti, un rinnovato programma per la prima infanzia con un componente online sono solo alcuni dei le cose che stiamo attualmente testando e non vediamo l'ora di offrire su una scala più ampia!

L’iscrizione è aperta per il Round 2 di lezioni a distanza. 5 lezioni, 5 settimane a partire dal 25 maggio. Ecco il LINK con le informazioni. Nuovi studenti sono benvenuti!

Per quanto riguarda le altre attività per i soci, l'American Film Series è sospeso in attesa di notizie riguardante l’apertura dei teatri e cinema in sicurezza. Il nostro spazio è chiuso fino a quando non possiamo riaprire secondo la legge e tenendo presente la salute e la sicurezza di tutti. I prestiti della biblioteca sono sospesi fino a nuovo avviso e chi ha libri o dvd a casa, ha un’estensione automatica. Fino a quando potremo incontrarci di nuovo, continueremo a offrire una vasta selezione di attività virtuali attraverso le nostre pagine Facebook.

Le cose stanno iniziando a diventare davvero entusiasmanti!

Ringraziamo ancora per aver preso parte a questo “Hero's Journey” (viaggio dell’eroe) con noi.

Trieste, May 15, 2020

Dear AIA FVG Students, Members and Families,

Thank you for your continued support of AIA FVG and our courses. As you know, we have worked very hard to offer new opportunities to our members. When faced with the uncertainty of the Covid-19 crisis, we took immediate measures to adapt our courses to the new situation. It has been an experience of constant learning and discovery, even for us!

We began by creating stand alone, self-paced lessons we could send out once per week. We did our best to craft high-quality, thoughtful lessons that people could do at home with their children or that adults could complete at their own speed, knowing that we were there to support them all the way. We wanted to finish the Winter Session, that was interrupted by the pandemic, in the most positive way we could-- because it was the right thing to do for our students, and, because it gave us great joy to be able to do so. The feedback was positive and encouraging, which led us to add two additional rounds of lessons from a distance at reduced rates to allow those who were interested to continue with us. At the same time, it gave us a unique opportunity to take new risks and experiment with content and techniques.

It was natural for us to want to discuss what we were learning in online sessions. This direct contact has been a lifeline for us, something we can count on at a time when almost nothing is certain. We have grown exponentially as teachers, students, and people over the last three months through these online sessions.

It has always been our mission to serve our community and have fun while doing it. The popularity of our new classes highlights the fact that our students have a great sense of humor, love learning, and want to have fun, too! As teachers, we couldn't ask for more!

We are humbled by the positive feedback and are excited about the future. Spending more time at home has given us a lot of time to think and plan what we want to do in the coming months: more rounds of lessons, a writing workshop for adults, a revamped early childhood program with an online component are just some of the things we are currently testing and looking forward to offering on a larger scale!

Registration is now open for Round 2 of Lessons from a Distance. 5 lessons, 5 weeks starting on May 25^th. Here is the LINK with information and for registration. New students are welcome!

Regarding other activities for members, the American Film Series is on hold until there is news about opening theaters and cinemas. Our space is closed until we can legally reopen and guaranteeing the health and safety of all. Library checkouts are suspended until further notice and those who have books or dvds at home, receive automatic loan extensions. Until we can meet again, we continue to offer a vast selection of Virtual activities through our Facebook pages.

Let's just say things are starting to get really exciting around here!

Thank you again for taking part in this Hero's Journey with us.

Sincerely,

AIA FVG Staff & AIA F.A.D. Teaching Team
