Inauguration of the Comboni Italian Centre at CCST in Sudan
Friday, May 27, 2016
Comboni College of Science and Technology (CCST) in Khartoum offers courses of Italian Language as a subject in its Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature and as programs of on-going formation for professionals. In 2015 the agreement with the University of Perugia for Foreigners made of CCST an exam centre for the official certificates of Italian Language of that university (CELI). Last 12th May this educational initiative was upgraded with the inauguration of the Comboni Italian Centre in the premises of the College. [Video] and [Facebook].

The Ambassador of Italy to Sudan, H.E. Fabrizio Lobasso and the President of the Italian company Pentax, cut the ribbon to open three classrooms decorated with Sudanese and Italian elements designed by one of the Sudanese students of this language.
In his speech to the journalists, the Ambassador underlined the role of the educational institutions of the Comboni Missionaries in Sudan in the integration of the cultural diversity and presented them as privileged places for intercultural dialogue. One week after, the first cultural activity of the centre took place. It was an exhibition with photos taken by Fr. Pasquale Boffelli on some Sudanese tribes in the Eighties of the past century. For CCST this Centre is another bridge to enter into dialogue with this society of Muslim majority.
