ST.
STEPHEN’S CULTURAL CENTER-MISSION.. |
|
.................
Since its foundation in the early 1960’s, St.Stephen’s
School has always fostered the cultural and artistic talents
of the student body. The extraordinarily high percentage of
actors, film makers, photographers dancers, musicians, writers
and artists among our alumni body confirm this fact. For many
years, the Board of Trustees worked on the idea of creating
a cultural center at the school which might become a fulcrum
for cultural events for the St. Stephen’s School community
as well as for the Rome community at large. The idea was to
create a structure which could host, on school grounds, cultural
events that are not necessarily organized by the students and
faculty nor limited to the restricted St. Stephen’s community.
In a world where globalization is the magic word, it was decided
to make St.Stephen’s better known as a patron of Culture
to a wider world.
The mission of St.Stephen’s Cultural Foundation is to
organize cultural events for the benefits of students, teachers
and parents as well as for the local Roman and international
communities.
Cultural events such as lectures, evening presentations, musical
and dance performances, master classes, film screenings and
exhibitions have been offered since May 2006.
