Description

This program combines Spanish lessons and voluntary work in social institutions. Volunteering offers a unique possibility to experience the country, culture and population from an inside view while doing a meaningful job. You can, of course choose to follow Spanish lessons without volunteering.

Highlights

The language and voluntary work program consists of a minimum 2 weeks intensive language lessons with afternoon activities corresponding to the program. If you are a new beginner or have only basic knowledge of Spanish, 4 weeks lessons are compulsory before starting your volunteer work.

Your final choice of voluntary work project or institution will be made in conjunction with the voluntary work coordinator, during your language course. The coordinator is responsible in ensuring that your work will be a rewarding and instructive experience for you and for the organization or project that you choose to work for. Whilst attending the language course and doing voluntary work you will live with your Peruvian host family depending on the area. A language and voluntary work stay in Peru does not only give you the chance to use the language every day, it will also give you the opportunity to take part in activities that will give you important experiences. You will contribute to the development of a country, which has great problems and even greater potentials.

EXIS ApS's Mission Statement

EXIS is your ticket to put together a different kind of travel experience. EXIS got started in 1982 with restlessness and an urge to ramble before globalization was a household word and the world could be Googled in five seconds. EXIS made sure nearly 30 years ago that Danish au pairs could drink tea on the High Street in London and now offers unique language study and voluntary work on five continents. EXIS philosophy is still the same to make it possible for you to satisfy your curiosity and thirst for adventure. We work with partners all over the world to build the most secure starting gate for unique experiences and you take it from there! Forget all about the world getting smaller. It's bigger than ever and right within your reach. Join the world... it's yours!
