Beyond the specific content of each session, the initiative seeks to create opportunities for informal exchange between participants from different countries and institutional backgrounds. The cafe format emphasises an open, welcoming atmosphere where questions, discussion and intercultural sharing are encouraged. This informal setting lowers participation barriers, making the programme attractive not only to language enthusiasts but also to staff members who may have limited previous experience with Spanish language or culture.
Join us for an enjoyable language-learning experience combining conversation, cultural discovery, and international exchange.
