A look back on Social and Cultural Programme highlights

2022 was a fantastic year for the social and cultural programme at NILE.

Our courses kicked off with warm welcomes at a local pub, followed by guided walking tours of Norwich, weekend excursions to places such as Cambridge, the Norfolk coast and London, and culminated in traditional cream teas to say a fond ‘till next time’ - and that’s before we get on to the weekday events!

Erasmus+ projects in 2022

We are delighted to learn that some National Agencies have advised teachers with unspent Erasmus+ funding that they can spend this money on programmes in the UK this year after all, ans we look forward to welcomingyou to Norwich soon!

The IATEFL conference is finally here, two years after the last one. This year it's virtual, but it should be just as good as normal!

As usual, this is a big one, but this year it's huge for NILE: we are delighted and immensely proud to have our Director Thom Kiddle delivering the plenary on Sunday morning.
