Art Hostels in Italy

Since last September 2011, 6 of our 8 ‘art hostels’ have been opened.

The creation of these art laboratories has been possible thanks to OSTHELLO, a project developed by the Italian Youth Hostel Association in partnership with the Youth Department of the Italian Government.

The eight hostels involved in the Project are the following:
- Bologna and Perugia for music;
- Cagliari and Florence for movie;
- Genoa and Naples for theatre;
- Matera for visual arts;
- Trieste for journalism.

Courses and seminars are already available in these hostels and they are completely free of charge. They are available for everybody and not only for people sleeping at the hostels, turning the youth hostels into real cultural houses and getting young people closer to their passions, through educational activities and trainings based on the principle of ‘learning by doing’.

Other two art labs will be presented soon and will be the Visual Art laboratory in Matera and the Journalism laboratory in Trieste.

Stay connected to OSTHELLO and you will get all the information about courses and latest news about the project. You will also be able to book your stage, to book your access to art labs, to read curiosities or tutors’ biographies.
