CENTER OF DUTCH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE
The Center of Dutch Language and Culture was founded by Ingrid Degraeve in 1999 with the support of the Taalunie - Union for the Dutch Language (www.taalunie.org), which promotes the Dutch language around the world.
The aim of the Center of Dutch Language and Culture is to teach Dutch to Georgian students, which is the native language of 24 million Europeans and to offer them new perspectives in philological, cultural, political or commercial fields.
The center has its own library with more than 2000 books, CD/DVDs and periodicals. Thanks to the assistance of the Dutch and Flemish foundations the library is enriched annually.
Certificate of Dutch as a Foreign Language (CNaVT)
Students can take the CNaVT exams (www.cnavt.org) to prove their language proficiency in Dutch with an internationally recognized certificate accepted by Dutch and Flemish Universities.
Scholarships
Students of Ilia State University have the opportunity to receive scholarships for Dutch language and culture summer courses. The Comenius Summer Course (www.comeniusned.eu), which is held at a member university is aimed at A2 level students of Dutch. The summer course in Ghent (University of Ghent) is aimed at advanced students of Dutch. Students require at least B1 level (https://t.ly/K-JwA). Both courses are financed by the Taalunie.
