Explore Tijuana with Escuela Amistad - An Unforgettable Adventure!
Tijuana is often referred to as an “ensalada de culturas”.
It is a city of migrants where you can learn new perspectives from a tremendous diversity of people from all around the world.
You’ll get to know people and make friends across cultural barriers doing language exchanges, eating together, and visiting community project sites such as migrant shelters and locally owned shops run by activists, migrants, and local artisans.
​
You have the option of joining our online Int/adv Spanish course and will receive the video course as part of your enrollment in the trip to help prepare you at additional charge after enrolling in trip.
Logistics
You will stay in a comfortable space with a common kitchen area and, on days when we don’t meet to eat with locals on the ground, a nutritional meal is provided by the Via International/Niños de Baja California "Promotoras" program, a grass-roots project that brings underserved communities in Tijuana together around nutrition. On these days you will eat with the Promotora and instructor.
