The professional experience will be academically directed, supervised by a UB faculty, and conducting a project. Students will work 6 hours/week with the guidance of a mentor. They will also meet the faculty once a week to discuss both the assignments and the reading materials. This combination will bring students a meaningful insight of the daily life of the local culture, while also enabling an increased intercultural understanding, and increasing their Spanish acquisition (both the course and volunteering project are conducted in Spanish).
