Università per Stranieri di Siena
The University for Foreigners of Siena contributes to T-Power with the workshop Italian Well-Being: Words, Stories, and Spaces that Heal. The initiative aims to provide a moment of linguistic and transcultural reflection on the topic of well-being, through a shared perspective between Italian and Japanese cultures. The meeting will be divided into two consecutive sessions. The first part is aimed at Italian language teachers in Japan, while the second is for students studying Italian at an intermediate-to-advanced level in Japan. In the first part, Professor Tiziana de Rogatis will introduce key terms related to well-being in language learning through a discussion of the translingual writer Jhumpa Lahiri, relating them to the categories of narrative medicine and health literacy. In the second part, Dr. Andreina Sgaglione will propose an original and concrete linguistic application of the categories introduced by Professor de Rogatis, enhancing the linguistic and transcultural mission of the University for Foreigners of Siena.
