There will be three social events during the 8th AIROYoung WORKSHOP 2024:
- On the February 14th evening all the participants will be invited to the “Calabrian dinner”. This event will be held at Le casette di zio Rocco, in Rende. Delicious typical Calabrian products will be accompanied by a tasting of local wines;
- On the February 15th afternoon a guided tour will take place to discover the historical beauties of Cosenza. A private bus will drive all the participants from the University of Calabria to Piazza XV Marzo, located in the upper part of Cosenza city. Then, the most important buildings under the historical perspective will be admired, such as the Cathedral of Cosenza and the St. Domenico Church;
- On the February 15th evening a social dinner will take place in the beautiful setting of Villa Santa Caterina , in Montalto Uffugo.
