ITALY, January 30 – February 1, 2017: Languages Canada brought fifteen members – representing Universities, Colleges, and private sector language programs – to Milan, Italy to meet with nearly 30 agencies representing Italy, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Poland and Slovakia. During the event, participating members had the opportunity to meet with Trade Commissioner Paola Bucalossi and Immigration officer Sarah Erlichman of the Embassy of Canada to Rome, who delivered a valuable presentation about the Italian market and business opportunities for Canadian institutions. Members also had the option of joining a tour to meet with local universities following the official trade mission activities.
This trade mission was made possible thanks to support from the Embassy of Canada in Italy, funding from Global Opportunities for Associations (GOA), and key sponsorship from our Diamond sponsor, guard.me International Insurance.
The next Languages Canada trade mission will take place in Mexico in Fall 2017. Stay tuned for more information about upcoming trade missions and FAM tours to Quebec and the Prairies.
