Dear friends, we are pleased to announce the new edition of our Coptic Summer School for 2025!
In May we will have a weekly online meeting, and finally an in-person week in July at the headquarters of the Waldensian Faculty in Rome.
As in previous editions, we will offer a Beginner Course, for those who want to learn Sahidic grammar, and an Advanced Course for those who are already familiar with the language.

As the Coptic Studies Group of the Waldensian Faculty of Theology, we strongly believe in the goodness of this cultural project, and we want it to continue!
