International Days of the Odyssey Group
Odyssey International Days
The Institut Saint-Dominique in Rome participates in the International Days of the Odyssey group from 15 to 20 May 2023.
The structures belonging to the Odyssey group regularly meet around federative actions including the «Odyssey International Days» which aim to celebrate and highlight the dynamism of our community. The goal is to make our schools shine by organizing meaningful and playful pedagogical actions that put students in a position of actors and engaged members of the educational community.
The second edition of the International Odyssey Days took place from 15 to 20 May 2023, parallel to the Week of Languages.
This is why the ISD in Rome has focused on «the International» to illustrate the linguistic and cultural diversity that is the basis of our Institute and to demonstrate our openness to the world.
