The Italian Embassy in Asmara has commenced Italian language courses to facilitate cultural exchange and educational growth. The inauguration involved key Eritrean officials and highlights the collaborative efforts between the Italian government and local entities. This program is expected to benefit a significant number of Eritrean students.
The Italian Embassy in Eritrea recently launched Italian language courses at the Casa degli Italiani in Asmara. The inauguration event was attended by various high-ranking members of the Eritrean government, including the Minister of Foreign Affairs Osman Saleh and Minister of Information Yemane Gebremeskel. This initiative aims to promote the Italian language and was made possible through collaboration between the embassy and the Dante Alighieri Society. Over the years, numerous Eritrean students have expressed interest in resuming Italian studies, facilitated by dedicated volunteer teachers and the unwavering support of the Italian ambassador, Marco Mancini.
Italian has a historical significance in Eritrea, stemming from the country’s colonial past. Although Italian education and cultural exchange diminished over the years, recent efforts have aimed to revitalize interest in the language due to its potential for fostering economic and social development. The return of Italian language courses at the Casa degli Italiani marks a significant step towards enhancing cultural ties. The collaboration between the Italian government and Eritrean authorities underscores a mutual respect for educational advancements.
The initiation of Italian language courses in Asmara signifies a renewed commitment to cultural exchange and educational development between Italy and Eritrea. The support from Eritrean leadership and the dedicated efforts of volunteers reflect the importance placed on language as a tool for social and professional advancement. Moving forward, this collaboration may lead to a deeper understanding and connection between the Italian and Eritrean communities.
