PPLI delivering
Feedback from the support session for outbound ELAs,
“Great first session!
held in August 2024:
Very insightful too.
It was great to listen to all
“Very
reassuring
thanks”
your experiences it made
me feel at ease.
Thank you”.
A meeting organised by PPLI in December 2024 with relevant embassies and cultural institutes provided an
opportunity to share newly created resources and update on developments in raising awareness of the
scheme. This in turn assisted in supporting further dissemination of the work completed.
Towards the end of 2024, preparations took place for a separate online session, aimed at those considering
applying for the 2025-26 ELA scheme. Those registered came from a wide variety of educational backgrounds
and universities.
Impact:
•
New promotional videos for the ELA scheme, developed with the support of former ELAs, as well as a new
poster are useful sources of information for prospective ELAs.
•
Support sessions delivered by PPLI were attended by both confirmed and potential ELAs, raising visibility
of the ELA scheme.
Next Steps:
•
Deliver an annual social media campaign in support of building awareness of the ELA scheme.
•
Provide an annual online support session, in early February, to encourage applications and interest in the
scheme.
