Project description:
The program would start with certified students in the four languages that currently taught at the Bicentenario de Excelencia Polivalente San Nicolás School, they will act as tutors for students of a rural school of the area, taking foreign language workshops to children from 3 to 12 years old. The languages that will be taught are English, Chinese, German, and French, starting from the most basic. The sessions will be 1 hour per week of the language with another hour of practice or foreign culture assimilation. The tutors will be 5 students of the Bicentenario de Excelencia Polivalente San Nicolás School certified in their respective language and will do the workshops as volunteers. It is expected that these lessons will continue at the San Nicolás School at the beginning of secondary education and that the beneficiaries will be the ones who will continue with the project later on.
