Description

The Live and Learn Program is essentially identical to that of the semester courses that we offer here at Reach Out Development NGO, however they include accommodation and airport pick-up. Like with the semester courses, there are 2 options for each semester: Option A (the 12 week course) and Option B (the 6 week course). The 12 week course is taught 5 days a week from Sunday to Thursday and there are 3 hours of lessons each day. This more intensive option costs USD 2500. The shorter course only spans 6 weeks and lessons are also taught from Sunday to Thursday. There are 4 hours of class time per day. The 6 week course with accommodation and airport pick-up included costs USD 1750. On completion of any of these courses all students receive a certificate marked with the level they have attained.

Highlights

Those following one of the courses offered by the Access Cairo Program, will receive quality lessons delivered by highly qualified teachers. There is a limit of 6 students to a class to ensure that all students receive the attention that they require. Materials are provided, with each student receiving the necessary books and a CD. A number of course options are available so as to be flexible enough to suit any schedule. One on one tutoring is also available for those who desire it. The Live and Learn option can reduce the stress that usually accompanies moving to a new city for any period of time, particularly one as bustling as Cairo. It also allows students to become more integrated and settle more fully into Cairo life than if they were to live in a hotel for example.

Reach Out Development NGO's Mission Statement

The Reach Out NGO was founded in 2008 with the mission of cultural exchange and capacity building in Egypt. Through its program Reach Out aims to build up cultural exchange between Egyptians and foreigners. This includes several features, from providing interactive workshops to organizing internships for interested students with other NGOs and organizations in Cairo. As language is key to understanding different cultures, the Integrated Human Development Center (IHDC) language program was our first project and has rapidly developed to fit the needs of those who have joined it. Here Egyptians get the opportunity to learn foreign languages directly by volunteer native speakers for a very low cost. Hence a wide range of people who otherwise would never be given the chance to develop their skills are supported. At the same time the language program provides cultural exchange for both sides as volunteer teachers are offered 2 Arabic classes a week. But as cultural exchange is not only dedicated to language our organization offers programs for art and music exchange, amongst others, to understand traditions and customs of other cultures in daily life. It is therefore a win-win project for locals and foreigners, who learn to understand, accept and integrate with each other. An essential dialogue shall be initiated between our cultures which in turn will build stronger links between them.
