Our programs are completely centered on experiential learning, in which we generate the curiosity and knowledge necessary from the students with their participation, their life experiences and the process of reflection that results from their actions during the programs.
These programs are adapted to every center’s needs and to the complete educational cycle. They may focus on specific subjects related to a particular center’s educational content, or on historical, cultural, or environmental aspects relevant to the country in which the program takes place.
Programs are conducted fully in Spanish, and intensive language courses may be taken additionally. The homestay experience offers students full immersion into the local community and culture.
Programs are based on the major global challenges of our societies and encourage young people to take a stance on these issues, promoting proactivity and participation upon their return home.
Programs present volunteers with real issues and foster proactivity and commitment regarding various causes. Activities are specifically designed for each respective age group as an introduction to international volunteering.
Programs are structured according to the FEIL network’s resources. This network is one of the leading international exchange structures in the world. Students are guided by a local group of leaders who ensure the educational, intercultural, and experiential success of the experiences.
We prioritize the safety and wellbeing of all participants by utilizing risk-prevention mechanisms and having specialized staff on site.
All programs are led by a professional group leader specifically trained by us with ample previous experience. The leader will ensure the execution of logistics and the transmission of knowledge foreseen in the thematic project.
