We would like to remind you that being a member of APrIR automatically makes you a member of FAAPI, which means you are eligible for all these professional development opportunities. Being an APrIR member thus connects you further off, beyond Rosario with sister associations in Argentina, and even with the rest of the world, since FAAPI is an IATEFL member.
