OUR COORDINATORS ABOUT US

Thanks to their dedication, our presence spans across the globe.

Zoran Lončarić
- Coordinator for Croatia

Zoran Lončarić Coordinator for Croatia "Hippo was our chance to assess their knowledge and our teaching by an external evaluation. We all were so excited about the competition and hoped that our experience would be positive, and fortunately, it really and truly was. The only thing better than the collection of Hippo staff were students and their teachers."

Aranka Bárócz
- Coordinator for Romania

"I can tell you, that nothing compares with the fulfillment when I see the sparkle in the finalists' eyes when they arrive to the Finals in Italy. What a wonderful concept this is, to gather children from all over the world, in one place, to serve the same purpose of sharing the interest in the English language knowledge, meanwhile travelling, and seeing beautiful places."

Awais Naeem Mughal
- Coordinator for Pakistan

"Since joining in 2018, I have seen the profound impact of the Hippo on English language learning and cultural exchange. By uniting students, teachers, and educators worldwide, the Hippo has cultivated a passion for language skills and cross-cultural understanding. The Competition's comprehensive assessments and engaging activities have substantially enhanced Pakistani students' English proficiency, fostering confidence, essential skills, and enduring global connections. The Hippo Association's unwavering support, guidance, and expertise have ensured a rewarding experience. Their dedication to education is truly inspiring."

Federica Pusineri - Dirdipiù
- Coordinator for North Italy

"We liked the idea of an international competition like the Hippo English Language Olympiad right away because it responds exactly to these characteristics: it brings students closer to the study of English by making them participate in an international competition open to all. Internationality is precisely the most important and innovative stimulus because today it is essential to think more openly and allow children, even the youngest, to deal with cultures other than their own."
