English UK's membership manager Alice Marcolin was in Rome last week to promote UK ELT course options at the 3rd Salone delle Lingue.

The annual event, organised by Italian agent association IALCA, includes a B2B day for schools to meet with agents, followed by two B2C days where schools and agents collaborate to share information with students and parents. 

We were the proud recipients of an Outstanding Contribution Award in the Language and Teaching Travel Industry. Many thanks to everyone in IALCA for this special recognition. We look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship, as we work to build strong relationships between UK and Italian study travel businesses.
