Italian language learners and lovers of conversation are invited to gather in Eumundi this October for a relaxed social catchup filled with coffee, gelato and friendly practice.
The monthly Italian Language Exchange social catchup will take place on 1 October at 10.30am, at Lorenzo's Gem, Artisan Gelato & Specialty Coffee Bar, located at 5/2 Etheridge St. The event is free to attend, and everyone is welcome.
Hosted as part of the group's regular monthly meetups, the gathering offers a welcoming space for people at all stages of their Italian journey. Beginners can practise in a supportive environment, while fluent speakers have the chance to share their knowledge and help others grow in confidence.
This month's venue adds a special local flavour to the morning. Lorenzo's Gem is a newly opened gelateria and coffee bar run by Lorenzo and Gem, whose warmth and hospitality make it an ideal setting for conversation, connection and a little taste of Italy on the Sunshine Coast.
Over coffee, lunch or gelato, participants will mix and mingle in small groups, working through a fresh themed conversation topic. Each month, The Italian Language Exchange chooses a new venue and a new theme to keep the gatherings lively, useful and enjoyable.
For October the theme is: A Rewarding Memory from Growing Up. Guests are encouraged to think about a moment that has stayed with them, something they discovered, or a time when they felt truly inspired.
There is also a little homework, but only the fun kind. Attendees are invited to prepare a short-written piece in Italian using past tense verbs. During the catchup, they will have the chance to share their story a few times as the group rotates through pairs, offering relaxed speaking practice with no pressure.
Whether you come with a few sentences, a favourite childhood memory or simply the courage to try, the morning is designed to be friendly, informal and encouraging. Bring a pen, jot down your memories, and come along for coffee, gelato and conversation at Lorenzo's Gem. www.facebook.com/groups/italianlanguagexchangesocialclub ... See MoreSee Less

Janet Millington, an experienced educator with a passion for outdoor education and permaculture is facilitating workshop experiences for home-schooled children, their parents, mentors and teachers.
Janet explained that her philosophy of education evolved over 50yrs of experience at primary, secondary and tertiary levels. What she learned was, “You cannot teach anyone anything they don’t think is necessary for them to know. Learning to learn is the key. That is achieved through meaningful and relevant learning experiences that are designed to motivate and interest the learner.”
This workshop introduces homeschool families, parents, mentors and teachers to the principles of Permaculture and outdoor learning, using the ethics of Care for Earth, Care for People and Return of Surplus as a foundation for gardening, education and community engagement. Held at the Eumundi Community Garden the program demonstrates how gardens can be used as powerful learning environments to support Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) education, wellbeing and student engagement, drawing on successful models developed at Eumundi State School’s Enviro Centre. Participants will gain practical skills, resources and lesson ideas to create meaningful outdoor learning experiences that meet curriculum requirements while building stronger connections with nature, community and lifelong learning.
Because of the amount of material provided, the course is limited to 10 participants. Applicants should fill in a short questionnaire which is straightforward.
Janet reminded me of what an amazing asset the Eumundi Community Garden is for the town. It is small at the moment – to reduce the amount of work needed to maintain it – but has the capacity to grow as more of the community get into gardens.
