About the program

Why is your program important?
Many people are interested in learning the reality of other places, and communication is essential to be able to meet and learn through different languages.

Which social issues do we face?
Most schools that teach English do so at a very basic level, some schools don't even have this course or another language.

How do we try to solve these issues?
We would like to give more opportunities to children, adolescents and young people who want to develop their ability to relate to other people, and thus improve the vision of life of each one of them.

  • Provide different language classes for children, adolescents and young people, in schools, groups, centers, etc. 
  • Students will have the opportunity to communicate with people from other countries, develop the ability to relate and learn about other cultures and languages.
