Description

Get to know the real Argentina from a neighborhood's perspective. This center aims to combine art (such as music, alternative education, handicrafts) with social work in order to help children and adults integrate more fully into society. Since its doors have opened in 1993, the Center has grown substantially and has also been internationally recognized for its arts-based approach. The organization has established several cultural centers that put on expositions, music classes, and educational workshops in order to achieve social transformation.

Volunteers are welcome to help with general office duties, share their musical or art talent in the cultural centers, teach English lessons, or organize cultural workshops. This project gives serious volunteers the ability to experience cultural exchange and participate in bringing about societal changes through art.

 
Cost Details
Fee includes housing, food, medical insurance, in-country staff support, pre-departure orientation, in-country orientation, arrival pick-up at airport, and 24 hour emergency support.
