If you missed our last trip to visit sustaining member Antica Fornace Deruta, don't miss this opportunity! Join us for a perfect day outside of Rome--complete with a gorgeous, scenic ride through the Umbrian countryside on a comfortable, climate-controlled vehicle.
When we arrive in Deruta, we'll enjoy a guided tour of the ceramics studio, learn about its rich history, and then have time to shop their beautiful handcrafted pieces, including those designed by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Whether you're looking to get out of the city for a day or hoping to pick up a unique gift, there's something for everyone!
After the visit, we'll take a short walk through the charming village and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before heading back to Rome.

Stay tuned for details about our official monthly club gathering!
The new exhibition at the PM23 space at Piazza di Spagna is dedicated to Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos, renowned for her monumental and stenographic installations that blend contemporary art, craftsmanship, and social messaging. The non-linear exhibition combines her past work with surprising new pieces inspired by Valentino Garavani’s legacy. The artist reinterprets clothes to create a body of work that celebrates the legacy of the “last emperor of fashion.” We'll take a tour with an English-speaking guide.
When: Thursday, February 17 at 10:50 am
Where: Palazzo Mignanelli, 23
Cost: 15 euros per person, to be paid at the ticket office on the day of the tour
RSVP online by February 14. Maximum 15 attendees.

Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout
AWAR is proud to offer a security awareness and self-defense training class! This event also aligns with FAWCO's Target Program focusing on strengthening human rights, building resilience, equality, and freedom for women and girls.
We've connected with Carla Prado, an English-speaking instructor who regularly offers training for FAO, IFAD, and other UN agencies in Rome. The event is centered on awareness, prevention, and practical strategies rather than physical strength, and it’s suitable for women of all ages.
The focus is on using body positioning, leverage, and situational awareness, with a strong emphasis on prevention and decision-making. Learn strategies to disengage and gain necessary seconds needed to get to safety.
When: Saturday, March 7 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm
Where: The course will be in Acilia at Dubai Fitness, Via Ippolito Desideri, 83. Acilia is accessible via the Ostia train line, and the gym is only a 350 meter walk from the train stop. Carpooling is also a great option for this event and we ask anyone who doesn't mind driving to contact Sally Cardenas at events@awar.org to coordinate.
Cost: 60 euros per person, which includes the course with a professional instructor, gym space and supplies, coffee and water. Please note that registrations are non-refundable. However, if you are unable to attend, your place may be transferred to another AWAR Member.
PLEASE REGISTER AND PAY ONLINE BY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20.
Participants are kindly encouraged to bring a light exercise mat of their own.
