The English Campus for Music and Songwriting is a free 5-night summer programme in Italy for university and college students (aged 18 – 30). The Campus brings native English speakers like you, our “Anglos”, volunteers from all around the world, together with Italian students who are looking to improve their fluency and confidence in English, in a wonderful location in Tuscany, just outside Florence.
The Anglos and the Italian students, our Learners, live alongside each other, creating an English immersion experience where Learners spend every moment of the day in a dynamic environment of natural English conversation. Our Campus is a unique linguistic, social and cultural experience as part of an innovative and exciting programme that is stimulating and fun, with no preparation on your part – all you need to do is speak English!
We are looking for English-speaking students from around the world to volunteer with us as Anglos. We welcome applications from any study background and are particularly interested in Anglos who are studying or have experience in creative subjects such as music performance, music production, songwriting, performing arts or related fields.

Please note: Anglo places at each Campus are limited and we advise you to apply as early as possible in order to secure a place.
We focus on the language skills of speaking and listening through natural conversation, supported by lessons and workshops led by our experienced teaching team. Through a series of one-to-one conversations, social time and a range of activities, games and practical challenges, you will be helping Italians to develop their English fluency and confidence naturally.
The social experience is an important part of every day of the Campus - whether enjoying a delicious meal, sharing a coffee break, walking in the gardens, participating in activities and games or just relaxing together during social time. In the evenings, there’ll be events and further opportunities to enjoy this unique social and cultural experience.
