The Program
Intercultural orientation
Program on Social Entrepreneurship: During a fully programmed week of social challenge and youth entrepreneurship, we will hold 4-hour training workshops in the mornings, followed by a different activity every day after lunch – either a visit to an innovative social project in the city, or a meeting with a social entrepreneur. Programs will end with a presentation to the collaborating organization.
Homestay and Community Service in Valencia: Students will work with the NGOs whose challenges they have been working on. They will have work 6 hours per day, while learning about their local culture as they live with their host family.
Programs will conclude with a trip to Barcelona in which we explore the cultural aspects of the city.
