Bilingual Exchange Program with Mexican Students

Experiencia is also a school that offers foreign language classes for Mexican students. The establishment of  "intercambios" many years ago, has made the school well known in Cuernavaca because apart from practicing languages, it actively contributes to a better intercultural understanding and friendship between foreign and Mexican students. All students may participate in the bilingual exchange.

Various topics of interest are discussed in small groups or the students simply decide what to talk about, one hour in Spanish and another in English, German, Italian or French.

Film and Video Evening

Documentary and feature films about history, culture, politics and life in Mexico, as well as Latin America and other continents. All students may participate.
