Have a transformative experience by challenging yourself to venture outside the classroom and gain intercultural understanding.
The International Educational Programs of ADELA have made an innovative jump to a new stage through a program of Experiential Learning. This program includes multiple cultural activities such as an Argentine family welcome dinner and other family activities, a historical walking tour in the city, Co-curricular activities, a weekend Trip (two nights), day excursions, guest speakers, farewell activities, etc. Students will have several debriefing activities such as online forum debates, Instagram posts, Facebook posts, photograph competitions, or a monthly reflection workshop to debrief about key cultural immersion topics and students’ learnings.
CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
FLACSO Argentina offers co-curricular activities for each course and program. These activities include:
- Field observations that focus on specific issues, like Buenos Aires’s ethnic diversity, or visits to important sites, such as memorials for the victims of the last military dictatorship.
- Opportunities to meet special guests, including members of social organizations, and interviews with social sciences and Argentine politics experts.
These experiences enrich the courses. Students also benefit from being part of one of the leading academic institutions in Latin America, where they can attend different seminars, exhibitions, and other educational events led by well-known researchers and professionals.
FLACSO Argentina has a strong network of connections, enhancing the experience for international students. This network helps students engage with the community and contribute to local organizations or initiatives. All activities are designed with clear objectives to encourage reflection on the complex issues of local society and culture, connecting these topics to their academic studies.
SOCIAL COMMITMENT AND COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
The extensive network of institutional connections of FLACSO-Argentina is a plus for our international students. It allows us to enrich the experience with an agenda of social and community participation. The activities are planned with specific objectives to help the students create a better and greater bond with the community as well as the possibility of making a significant contribution to the organization or community. All these activities are accompanied by moments of reflection that allow students to understand the complex issues of the local society and culture and connect them to their learning.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
These actions are either long-term or one-time and are ideal for all types of students regardless of their place of origin or native language. Different options include housing surveys with NGOs, participation in the organization and classification of drug banks, socio-environmental surveys in conjunction with NGOs and State Organizations, support for the homeless or tutoring for elementary school students.
