The workshop begins on July 19 at 11am and should finish by 4pm (as on other days). The convent is located on via Dante, at the outskirts of the town, overlooking a soccer field. It is a short uphill walk from the Hotel Il Castello.
The workshop ends on July 24.
We will have several presentations a day. Each presentation lasts about 25 minutes and will be followed by a 5-minute (max) discussion among the audience. Only clarifying questions will be allowed during the presentation; more substantive questions will be deferred to the discussion.
