How is the course taught?
This cursillo is presented from a practical perspective, in such a way that during the cursillo you will have time built into the schedule to brainstorm in small groups and to develop a final project that will be presented on the last day.
The day begins with a hands-on cultural-based activity. Content sessions that will take place midday at the Cámara de Comercio de Badajoz are carefully designed to enhance conversation, collaboration and creativity. All classes will be taught in Spanish by native Spanish-speaking professionals, experts in their field.
Additionally, the programmed afternoon and evening activities represent authentic, first-hand experiences to live, sense and breathe the diversity of Spain's culture.
Students are under adult tutelage during the cursillo and all sponsored events.
