Our Association
The Culture and Language Exchange Center Association is a dynamic and rapidly growing entity with headquarters in Pavia, also present in Milan, Florence, Turin and Venice. In China in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenyang. Our story began in 2015 with the organization of language courses and academic courses, and then expanded into the organization of events, exhibitions and study trips.
We were one of the first professional profiles on the Italian market to offer Chinese students the right preparation to be able to pass entrance exams at the University, Academy of Beautiful Arts or Conservatory of Music. We also take care of creating common training projects between Chinese and Italian universities in order to create a study plan that allows students to complete the academic path in one of the affiliated institutes and obtain the recognition of the exams. We also have a “Training and Study Orientation Center in Italy” in China, where we welcome Chinese students who wish to pursue their studies in Italy.The Culture and Language Exchange Center Association was the first to enter the Italian market to offer Chinese students a high-level and high-quality preparation program to pass academic exams at Universities, Academies of Fine Arts, and Conservatories of Music.
We work on Shared Training Projects between Universities in China and Italy, aiming to create integrable study programs that allow students to complete their learning journey within the partner institution and obtain academic recognition for the exams they have taken. For this reason, we have a Study and Academic Orientation Center in both Italy and China to support and train students who wish to begin an academic path in our country. Beyond the educational field, our Association is also actively involved in cultural promotion. Among our prestigious collaborations, the most significant is with China’s leading publishing house for the translation of Italian literary works
At this moment, we are engaged in the development of ambitious cultural projects, including the Italo-Chinese Poetry Forum, an initiative with Shanghai Film and Television City, and an important partnership aimed at creating a new national Sino-Italian television channel. Our work is rooted in a philosophy based on respect and knowledge, promoting the idea that intercultural dialogue is one of the key elements that broadens perspectives and plays a crucial role in developing a clearer and richer multidimensional vision of the world. Our mission is to build a bridge between Italian and Chinese culture on both academic and cultural levels, further fostering dialogue, integration, and mutual appreciation of the cultural heritage of both nations.
