It adds further value to the discovery of Italy and to the process of learning a foreign language.
The exchange program was founded in 2018 by Francesca Breda with the purpose of connecting Australians to the Italian reality, often not appreciated enough by Italians. This initiative aims to highlight and celebrate Italy’s rich culture, not only for those eager to discover it but also for the locals who may have become accustomed to the extraordinary beauty that surrounds them. OzItaly seeks to foster a cultural exchange between Australia and Italy, offering a unique opportunity to enrich both countries. By emphasizing the growing importance of the English language, the programme serves as a valuable resource for Italy’s evolving society.
Ciao! I’m Francesca and after living in Australia for several years, I created this cultural exchange programme to maintain a strong connection with the beautiful land down under. I’ve always had a great interest for languages, influencing my path of studies and eventually leading me to become a language teacher. In addition, I’ve always had a deep love for travel and a strong interest in the tourism industry. My fascination with Italy’s artistic and cultural heritage inspired me to take the regional exam and obtain a tour leader license.
I love travelling, but I don’t believe in holidays for the sake of simply escaping. To me, a trip should be a journey of personal growth and enrichment. It should open new horizons and leave a lasting impact on us. I carry with me a wealth of experiences that I deeply treasure, which motivates me to promote human connections and travels. Stepping outside our routines is like being born again, it helps us appreciate all aspects of life and opens our eyes to the many different ways people live, each with their own unique perspective.
