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 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.
Co.As.It.-ILC recognises the financial support from MAECI (Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Collaboration). The approved 2024 Project (“Italiano 360°–Un Mondo di Lingua dalla Primaria alla Maturità”) supports Primary and Secondary schools throughout Queensland where Italian is taught.
The 2024 approved Project details are available here.
Co.As.It.-ILC received a 9.5% reduction due to limited MAECI funding, however increased its own resources contribution to 22.11% of the total value in order to successfully deliver the entire 2024 Project.
