The Spanish Language and Culture seminar focus primarily on improving communicative ability and all-round language competency.
IMMERSION
Immersion and interaction with the community are key for language and intercultural learning. That is why our classes will take place both inside and outside of the classroom.
“Nature and Ecological Restoration“
TIME TO (RE) ACT
We recognize the Ecological crisis as the most crucial our generation will face. Understanding and making changes in our lives and in our communities will define the world our children will live in.
PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE
During this seminar, we will build a vertical garden, plant, clean, and discuss topics such as biodiversity, climate change, carbon footprint, etc.
“Cultural Heritage“
CONNECTING WITH HISTORY
We understand Heritage as a symbol for Identity and as a reminder of historic memory. A path towards peace, change, and a solidifier of community bonds.
DISCOVER ANDALUCIA
Tours, activities, and debates, in some of the most beautiful sites the western Mediterranean can offer, will help us use Cultural Heritage as a lens for regeneration and sustainability.
“Migration and Social Justice“
VOICES FROM THE BORDER
Understand the truth behind the migration crisis in Europe’s southern frontier. Hear voices from a very real world and deepen your awareness about everyday life situations.
GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
We will try to make sense of this global crisis through reflections, experiences, interviews and debate.
“Leadership and Community“
21ST CENTURY LEADERSHIP
Reframe leadership and learn about organizations from a psychobiological point of view. Explore challenges and opportunities of an intercultural environment.
STRONGER TOGETHER
Understand the importance of a strong team, safe environments and community building with an infinite mindset.
“Emotional Intelligence“
MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO
As one of the weakest points in our society today we want to put special attention on the importance of a healthy mind and lifestyle for the undertaking of any other project.
SELF EXPLORATION
Through mindfulness, art, movement and psychology we will dive deep into our emotional world and learn about the search for meaning, patience and frustration tolerance.

The city is a live monument of our rich history and cultural heritage, full of incredible streets, plazas and secrets.
