In
1995, the Italian
Consul General in Boston formed a non-profit educational and
professional organization named Centro Attivitą Scolastiche Italiane
(C.A.S.IT., Inc.), for the promotion of Italian language and culture in the
public and private schools of New England. C.A.S.IT. is under the direction
of the Consulate General of
Italy.The mission of C.A.S.IT. is to assist communities that wish to introduce, preserve, rejuvenate or broaden the study of the Italian language in their schools. C.A.S.IT. offers grants of varying amounts for the establishment of Italian language and cultural programs. It is C.A.S.IT.'s goal to establish Italian as a subject in the school curriculum.
By working closely with the schools and the Italian Consulate, C.A.S.IT. demonstrates its commitment to the success of Italian language. In collaboration with Italian government agencies, Italian and Italian-American organizations, colleges, universities, and schools, C.A.S.IT. is working to maintain and strengthen the position of Italian in our schools. C.A.S.IT. achieves this through methods that are both creative and educationally sound.
