Language classes are among many offering at New Dundorfian International Institute

In an effort to increase exposure to foreign cultures, the Kalistani Government has given approval for the opening of a branch of the Dundorfian International Institute (IDI) in Kaliburg. The international educational will focus on exposing Kalistani citizens to the culture, language, music, art and history of the Artanian Nation.

"Kalistan and Dundorf have been increasing their cultural ties recently," said Deputy Minister of Education Lady Mary Barnes. "This will give our citizens an excellent opportunity to learn Dundorfian, study their culture and perhaps let it bleed into our culture." Kalistan is a long standing importer of culture, and Dundorfian is a welcome addition to the Kalistani cultural palate. "People like languages. They dig foreign music and love seeing foreign plays and art. Having the Institute here will be great for our art scene."

Classes at the Institute will be offered to adults in Kaliburg. "Students can take classes on their own time, or as part of their college programs here in language, music, cooking, art history, and literature of Dundorf," said Lady Barnes. "The Ministry subsidizes courses for all students who qualify for the Institute on their criteria, to ensure that the students have the chance to learn without them having to bear cost." Classes are conducted in Vrassan with Dundorfian immersion options, to help students learn from native speakers.

"Its our hope that this sort of cultural learning opportunities at the International Institute will foster a greater understanding between our two nations," said Lady Barnes. "And besides, its really a lot of fun to learn about other countries, their culture and their history. Anantonese culture is better for including flavors of other cultures, and we really do have a lot to learn about Dundorfian culture. Adding the Institute to Kaliburg's education options for our adult learners is only a plus for us."

The Dundorfian International Institute is open now, adjacent the Imperial University Campus in southern Kaliburg.
