Espanex offers you different intercultural programs which enable you to know our culture and country in depth. Tailor made courses are offered for our students. They are so personalized in order to foster a fast and effective immersion to Latin American and Argentine culture. Espanex focuses primarily on Spanish language instruction and the needs of the participants. This is a very important aspect because the students are supported all the time, making their stay an enjoyable and everlasting moment.

Highlights: Volunteering is a way of committing with the society that surrounds us. By helping others in need, you have the opportunity to get nothing else but personal satisfaction/reward. Espanex collaborates with associations, non profit institutions, homes, dining rooms and churches so as to aid the community. Moreover, by means of an assisting program, it helps to protect the flora and the fauna of the Patagonian Forests.
This type of work allows the needy to receive the help government can not provide. In this way hundreds of organizations facilitate the operation of this program by means of raising funds or humanitarian aid.
