AMONG TOPICS DISCUSSED WERE SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, EXCHANGE PROGRAMMES AND SPANISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION.

On Wednesday June 11, 2025 SALCC senior leadership met with several Latin American ambassadors to discuss possible collaborations in support of cultural exchange and promotion. 

Venezuelan Ambassador Lieff Liubliana Escalona Barrueta, Mexican Ambassador Luis Manuel López Moreno, Cuban Ambassador Yenielys Vilma Regueiferos Linares, Ambassador, and Brazilian Ambassador Colbert Soares Pinto Junior shared their ideas for linkages that could be made between SALCC and the respective embassies. These linkages include scholarship opportunities, short-term exchange programmes and increased instructional support for our Spanish programme. 

One key initiative that was discussed was the possible revitalization of the Latin American and Caribbean Film Festival. The proposed festival would serve as an engaging means of promoting Latino and Caribbean culture, especially for Spanish students at all educational levels. 

The College is grateful for the embassies’ continued interest in collaboration and looks forward to actualizing these discussions in impactful outcomes.
