Social Hub
The school also acts as a social hub for volunteers, students and interns, supported by a variety of organised weekly activities. A typical week starts with an orientation meeting for new arrivals and a welcome meal at a nearby restaurant; giving everyone a chance to get to know each other. During the week we offer two or three activities, usually one sport and one cultural or social activity. These range from pisco sour cocktail-making classes, salsa dancing or cermamic painting and much more.
We also run a monthly tandem event bringing together students from our Spanish school with local English students for an intercultural language exchange evening.
Many volunteers and students organize their own activities together or choose to take the same tours to share the many amazing experiences Cusco and the surrounding region has to offer.
