What is LABCI?
The ‘Culturas’ – the British Cultural Institutes in Latin America – were founded between the late 1920s and early 1930s, in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.
In the early 1980s, the Director of the British Council brought together a small group of British institutes in Latin America to explore possibilities for co-operation, and as a result, the first congress was held in Montevideo in 1985, which was a complete success.
From then on, regular meetings between institute directors began and the congresses became recognised as important ELT events.
The conference
Every two years LABCI holds an ELT conference hosted by a member country. The conferences attract a large number of professors and academic coordinators, as well as sponsorship from publishers and other ELT providers.
Within this virtual event we will be scheduling two days with a wide range of different academic, teaching and cultural presentations aimed at a large number of participants from various institutions in Latin America and worldwide.
There will be plenty of learning and also a lot of networking opportunities for all participantS.
Stay in the loop!
