Enriching Language Education: An IUS Project Advancing Multilingualism and International Cooperation

The International University of Sarajevo (IUS) is participating in an educational initiative funded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in Sarajevo. The project aims to strengthen Italian language teaching and expand opportunities for university students to learn Italian, supporting the promotion of Italian language and culture in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

As part of the project, IUS received a collection of Italian-language textbooks on November 11, 2026, including Nuovissimo Progetto Italiano 1 and Via del Corso A1 for English Speakers, both published by Edilingua. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ervin Kovačević and Prof. Dženana Uzunović represented IUS at the official handover ceremony at the Embassy of Italy in Sarajevo.

The textbooks combine grammar and vocabulary with activities that develop communication skills and cultural awareness. They provide valuable resources for classroom teaching and independent study, helping students build their confidence in using Italian while learning about its cultural context.

The initiative supports multilingualism, intercultural communication and international academic cooperation at IUS. By improving access to teaching and learning materials, it creates further opportunities for students to develop their language skills and explore another culture.

IUS extends its sincere thanks to the Embassy of Italy in Sarajevo and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation for their generous support and continued commitment to Italian language education and cultural exchange in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
