More than 100 participants from over 33 countries and from 5 continents helped to make the 1^st ICCL a great success and milestone establishing Cultural Linguistics as an independent field of linguistic enquiry.

All the way from Melbourne, making stops across Switzerland, the UK and Italy, The Wesley College European Tour Ensemble will hold one of their few Tuscan performances right here at the Monash University Prato Centre.  

On September 12 at 12pm the talented group of 14 students from Wesley College Music School will perform an eclectic mix of jazz, swing, klezmer, rock, pop and musical theatre.

After a 5-week study program in Prato, Monash Architecture students, with a final collaboration with Design students, worked on on film making, under the guidance of lecturers Cameron Rose and Jacqui Alexander. Through exploring the streets, living like a local and discovering what can be considered the beating heart of the city, the students used their experiences to guide the full film making process, from idea through to final production.
