If there is one thing that 2020 has taught us, it’s that “No man is an island”. And if there is one organization in Education Travel that understands this concept, it is definitely Verbalists Education, a fast growing language network, with more than 4,000 foreign language teachers supporting it, who, together with British LAL Language Centres (LAL), are excited to offer 2 scholarships, worth €900 each, for selected healthcare and frontline workers.

Speaking of this venture, Dejan Trpkovic, Founder of Verbalists Education & Language Network and managing director of PRODIREKT, told us: “The gift of language changes lives, so we want to improve the lives of those who save our lives. We are privileged to be able to partner on this project with one of the world’s leading language educators, LAL, which will deliver 4-week courses in their online General English classes.”

Verbalists Education and Language Network was founded in 2009 and is owned by PRODIREKT Group, a US company which provides cutting-edge academic advising and professional learning opportunities, while specializing in servicing the world’s emerging economies within the education sector. That company has recently continued its global expansion by opening up a marketing office in Brazil. 

What do these scholarships consist of, and who can apply for them?

Speaking of the reason for choosing to collaborate with British LAL Language Centres on this, Mr. Trpkovic concluded, “We have had a very successful long-term partnership with LAL, which in some countries of Southeast Europe is reflected in our exclusive representation rights. Their reputation as a language learning provider guarantees a high quality course, albeit a free one.” 

This project is very much up Verbalist’s alley, especially in relation to the brand and network’s mission: “to connect people to the power of languages and joy of journeys that inspire, surprise and entertain.”
