About us
Welcome to CII GLOBAL, where we strongly believe in the magic of human synergy to create memorable educational adventures.
As an organisation we have spent over 30 years developing and refining our cultural and linguistic programmes to create fully immersive experiences for our participants. To create these programmes we have built and maintained relationships with schools, teachers, universities, youth centres, and many other organisations both in Argentina and internationally. The ongoing growth of these networks has resulted in us being leaders in the field of creating tailor made programmes to immerse people in cultures from English speaking countries.
Our history
In 1988, Colonias de Inmersión al Idioma introduced its first programme, English Immersion Camps (EIC), with the aim of bringing real experiences to the ESL classroom. This was the beginning of a series of ground breaking projects that are now part of CII GLOBAL. A few years later, in 1995, Teach Argentina (TA) was developed. It was the first programme aimed at offering an exchange programme for international students. In 2006, Discovery Trails (DT) came to fruition. Since then, thousands of students have had the opportunity of an unforgettable trip to Ireland and the UK.
Creating Educational Experiences since 1988
Our mission
Our mission is to use the English language as a connection point between students, cultures and places with the end goal of being more fulfilled human beings. Our vision is to collaborate with institutions, teachers and students who share our passion for building this unique work. We highly value creativity, cooperation, innovation, respect and passion to feed in and build CII Global.
As our organisation developed, we moved from “Colonias de Inmersión al Idioma” to “CII GLOBAL”. CII GLOBAL has retained our initial essence, vision and mission, but now encompasses all of our programmes; the parent brand of all our Colonias projects.
In CIIG we strongly believe in co-operation. We design and deliver educational and cultural experiences in conjunction with various organisations. Among others: University of Limerick Language Centre, University of Limerick Co-operative Education, Highlands Council, University of the Highlands and Island Inverness.
We have also been working in collaboration with the Year Abroad Departments of many universities in English-speaking countries since 1995.
