SUPPORTING ITALIAN IN QUEENSLAND SCHOOLS

Since 1980, the Italian Language Centre (ILC) has supported Italian language classes within the State, Catholic, and Independent school systems across Queensland in the hubs of Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Cairns, and Townsville. 

ILC is part of the Sistemi di Formazione e Informazione nel Mondo (SFIM) network managed by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAECI – Ministero Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale).

SFIM’s goal is the promotion of Italian language and culture worldwide. The support of MAECI allows ILC to promote and maintain Italian programs in primary and secondary Queensland schools.
