Ever since Mario Rinvolucri and Valeria Gallerani  first met some twenty years ago in Portonovo there have been outstanding conferences for teachers of English every two years in this breathtaking location. 

They had a dream and they made it happen with the collaboration of Lend Ancona, Manuela De Angelis, Patrizia Caroti and AnnaPaola Tombesi.

In 2015, Pilgrims along with Valeria are proud to continue this amazing tradition with our own Portonovo  ELT Conference.

Humanising Language Teaching, past, present and future.

The conference includes 6 workshops of 6 hours each and 8 plenaries of 50 minutes each. 

You choose 2 workshops, attend all the plenaries and get approximately 20 hours of inspirational teacher training by Pilgrims trainers in breathtaking surroundings.

This is a teacher's paradise that you deserve to be part of!

The themes of the conference include:

• CLIL and methodology for Primary Teachers  - Stephanie Ballotto
• Teacher Development and Motivation - Chaz Pugliese
• CLIL for Secondary Teachers - Jane Hoatson and Maria K. Norton
• Digital Methodology (ICT) - Thomas Strasser
• Language Improvement  - Tim Bowen

​There's also a full social programme and exhibition by sponsors. 

Come and join us for an experience you'll never forget.
