Updates
Latin American Community Involvement Scholarship (LACIS):
Australian Education International (AEI) has made a generous scholarship offer to members of Co-operation 21 who are studying in Latin America. The scholarship is a way to promote volunteering and help develop solid bilateral relations between Australia and Latin America. Details to be announced soon.
Don Quixote:
Co-operation 21 won one of 20 scholarships from Don Quixote language institution Spain for their efforts in promoting the Spanish language in Australia. Stephanie Templeton, the lucky recipient received a two week language course in Mexico.
Restructuring the organisation:
New strategies are being devised in order to facilitate the successful expansion of Co-operation 21. New committees are currently being organised in both Sydney and Melbourne, Australia and Santiago, Chile.
Webpage update:
Anna Ridgeway has translated the webpage of Co-operation 21 to enable more exposure to the Latin American community. The Spanish version will be available shortly.
Volunteer opportunities:
New links have been made with several valuable community projects:
Chile: Ingles para todos, Ingles abre puertas
Ecuador: Jatun Sacha www.jatunsacha.org
Upcoming events:
We look forward to our next event with Australian Alumni of Chile. This event will be a great way of forming solid links between professionals and students in the two countries. Co-operation 21 hopes that it will aid in developing both intellectual and cultural links and well as creating valuable networking opportunities. Aims to promote Australian and Chilean cultures in line with both Co-operation 21 and Australian Alumni of Chile organisational interests.
