Life Skills Workshops
During our summer immersion in Barcelona, students engage in three weekly workshops focused on developing vital life skills. These sessions complement their language learning and cover topics such as:
Students participate in activities like improvisation, storytelling, and group presentations. These exercises boost communication skills, alleviate anxiety associated with public speaking, and help them express ideas clearly and confidently.
Learners practice meditation, mindful eating, and deep-breathing techniques. They explore healthy habits such as balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and effective stress management to promote overall well-being.
Participants acquire crucial skills for daily independence, including managing personal finances through budgeting and smart spending. They learn to prepare simple, healthy meals and gain basic first-aid knowledge like CPR and treating minor injuries.
Students deepen their environmental responsibility by learning about protecting marine ecosystems and reducing pollution. They collaborate on hands-on projects aimed at enhancing the well-being of the local community.
By embracing challenges and feedback as opportunities for growth, learners develop a growth mindset. They engage in creative projects that foster innovation and encourage personal expression.
Through conversations, debates, and role-playing, students enhance their communication abilities. They learn to interpret body language, facial expressions, and other non-verbal cues across different cultures, improving their intercultural understanding.
