Cactus and the Italian Cultural Institute join forces to bring la dolce vita to the UK
Wednesday, 7th April 2010
Cactus Language Training, one of the world’s leading language training companies, and the Italian Cultural Institute today announce a prestigious new partnership to give hundreds of individuals and businesses access to Italian language training and study resources, as well as a wide variety of cultural events across England and Wales.
The Italian Cultural Institute (ICI) is the official body of the Italian government, dedicated to the promotion of the Italian language and culture in England and Wales. It organises cultural events, exhibitions and language courses, as well as collaborating with universities and art and scientific bodies to develop the cultural links between Italy and the UK.
As part of the partnership, Cactus and ICI will deliver Italian courses outside of London, in several locations across the country, offering students a special ICI certificate on completion of their courses. In addition, Cactus will help to promote a range of Italian cultural events to its students, who will also have access to the ICI’s study resources and its impressive library.
Carlo Presenti, Director of the ICI, commented: “We were looking for a partner that shares our passion and drive to bring the Italian way of life to a much wider UK audience. Cactus’ language courses are of a high academic standard and the company’s ethos complements our own aim to make Italian culture accessible for all.”
“This partnership is very important for us because our students will have much greater access to study resources and cultural information which will help to bring the Italian language to life,” commented Chris Moore, Head of Cactus Language Training. “We’re very pleased to be working with such a prestigious organisation to help boost Italian culture around the UK.”
