Successful workshop in Berlin for Verbalisti and PRODIREKT; the partnership with Greg Norman Champions Golf Academy announced

PRODIREKT accreditation - English UK and German ICEF
PRODIREKT was the first company in SEE to earn the accreditation from the two leading language education associations in Europe – English UK and German ICEF

Belgrade, Serbia — November 8, 2014 — Representatives of the Verbalisti language network and PRODIREKT just returned from the ICEF Berlin Workshop 2014, the world’s largest gathering of universities, language schools, education consultants, and agents. In contrast to student recruitment fairs and exhibitions, ICEF Workshops are closed to the general public. This year 2,343 participants travelled to Berlin for three days (02-04 November) of targeted meetings, seminars and networking held at the five-star InterContinental hotel. Overall, participants from 103 countries participated in 26,879 pre-scheduled meetings.

Dejan Trpkovic, managing director of PRODIREKT and founder of Verbalisti, described the language network’s activities at the workshop: “We had very successful meetings with a number of educators, which would result in more exclusive language learning and destination options for our students. After signing the exclusive representation agreements with the Manchester United Soccer Schools and Nike tennis camps in the UK, we are about to bring to our region another world’s most valuable sports brand – Greg Norman Champions Golf Academy. That prestigious US based golf camp was created to meet the needs of world’s top golfers at every stage of their amateur and professional development.

We also had an opportunity to devise several sweepstakes and contests with our partner colleges that would make the language network’s programs even more exciting in 2015. The ICEF Berlin workshop was again very helpful in fulfilling our goal – to continue offering language travel at its best in the Balkans”.

ICEF prides itself on having the strictest, most comprehensive and diligent educator and agent quality controls. Agencies who have received ICEF Agency Status are evaluated every two years to ensure ongoing compliance with ICEF’s standards.

PRODIREKT and the Verbalisti language network were among the first organizations from the Southeast Europe to pass ICEF’s strict screening process and were awarded ICEF Agent Status in 2011, which is an indicator of the Verbalisti language network’s quality and professionalism.

Unique English conversation course launched in Serbia by the language network Verbalisti

Belgrade, Serbia — October 10, 2014 — The education group PRODIREKT today launched the attractive English conversation program dubbed Verbalizuj se! (Verbalize Yourself!).

This unique program is organized by the Verbalingua language center, which is part of the popular language network Verbalisti and PRODIREKT company.

“The ability to organize your thoughts clearly and to communicate them in a persuasive way in a foreign language is very useful when you’re sitting in a job interview, advancing your career or holding a top management position. These are skills that you’ll use for the rest of your life, and Verbalize Yourself! program is great to improve those skills. The participation of famous people and successful managers in discussions greatly enhances the value of the program and makes it exciting and unique”, described the course Dejan Trpkovic, managing director of PRODIREKT.

The program starts on 23 October with English language meetings and famous Serbian writer and public figure Isidora Bjelica as its first guest. Verbalingua plans to open debating clubs for other languages in the near future as well.

In the beginning, the meetings will be held twice weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with two discussion sessions from 19:00 to 22:30, at the attractive space of the Verbalisti language network. The club and office space, which was awarded the first prize at the 23rd Exhibition of Architectural Achievements in Interior Design, is located at Gospodar Jevremova 9a, Belgrade.

Bečko šarmiranje mladih violinista

srpski Bitlsi

Jezička mreža Verbalisti ima posebno zadovoljstvo da najavi medijsko partnerstvo i koncert VESNA & Friends – bečki šarm.

Na ovom jedinstvenom koncertu sviraće naši čuveni mladi violinisti koji osvajaju brojne nagrade na takmičenjima po svetu. Oni će biti predvođeni njihovom mentorkom i profesorkom Vesnom Stanković. Vesna je koncertmajstor Bečkog kamernog orkestra i Bečke narodne opere. Njene kolege muzičari ujedno su gosti i orkestar na koncertu na kom će biti izvedeni koncerti za violinu Mocarta, Baha i Vivaldija.

Pitali smo Vesnu Stanković kojim povodom je rešila da organizuje ovakvu manifestaciju: “U ovoj, za mene jubilarnoj godini, imam tri želje za zlatnu ribicu: da muziciram sa mojim studentima, da ih predstavim beogradskoj publici, jer neki od njih su već poznati u svetu ali ne u svojoj domovini, a treća želja je da to bude i donatorski koncert za fondaciju “Pomoć deci” koja pomaže u školovanju izbegle i raseljene dece”, kaže Vesna, kojoj će u nedelju zlatna ribica ispuniti sve tri želje a nama doneti jedno uživanje i divno druženje.

Pozivamo vas da u nedelju, 21. septembra u 11:00 časova dođete u veliku dvoranu Kolarčeve zadužbine gde će nas Vesna i njeni prijatelji osvajati svojim bečkim šarmom – ulaz je besplatan.

Our partners Kings Oxford raised money to help the Serbian flood victims

Our partners Kings Oxford raised money to help the Serbian flood victimsKings Oxford has a long-standing and special relationship with the language network Verbalisti and Serbia and so, when the news of the flooding came through, Kings in Oxford decided to try and raise some money to support our people affected.

They started off with a series of bake sales – students and staff alike were all busy baking, selling (and eating!) cake, and between our two campuses Kings raised £220.

In addition to the bake sales, Kings held a charity football match between staff and students. It was a great match; tense, packed with action and, miraculously, the staff came through with a strong 5-3 victory. With players and supporters each donating £2, they managed to raise another £68. This took the grand total of money raised to £288, so a nice result and gesture all round.

Jednogodišnji ugovor sa Google-om, koji je objavljen na stranici elektronskog sistema za javne nabavke, potpisan je putem pregovaranja, bez prethodnog objavljivanja oglasa, javili su skopski mediji.

Makedonska Vlada početkom godine objavila je plan, kojim predviđa da turističke mogućnosti zemlje predstavi na internet pretraživaču Google s ciljem povećanja broj turista.

Vlada u Skoplju ranije je promovisala zemlju preko CNN-a, Forbes-a i Financial Timesa.
