LEARN SPANISH IN CUBA

Monday to Friday’s intensive Spanish lessons take place shortly after breakfast.

Lessons take the format of 3 x 45 minute lessons each morning, with 15 minute breaks to refresh. This makes approximately 3 hours of learn Spanish each day – 15 hours per week.

VOLUNTEER IN CUBA

When you start packing we ask you to consider bringing something to donate; such as any sports items, children’s toys… and arts & crafts items. We’re not asking you to go shopping or break your budget, just ask around and see if there are unused or under used things lying around yours or friends houses that might be put to more productive use here. Cuba is still subject to heavy hitting sanctions and a trade embargo imposed by her next door neighbour! For more details about or main volunteer partners, see below;

InSurgentes
InSurgentes is our newest volunteer partnership with local communities in and around Habana Vieja. At the moment our volunteers are helping to create a green space at Sol420 – Aula Ecológica (Ecological Classroom). Other InSurgentes projects include recycling organic materials into educational games at Fábrica de Bicicletas y Juguetes. This ambitious collaboration with DVV International includes a commitment to produce bicycles with wooden frames and other initiatives to raise ecological and environmental awareness – Eco Urbanism – in this vibrant neighbourhood.

Arco Iris & Barrio Habana Vieja Community Centre’s
We work with kids, and support volunteer organisers with maintenance and kids activities in Habana Vieja & Centro. The kids include those from broken and troubled families. In addition to creating a fun filled space, our focus is to give its members better preparation for adulthood and parenthood. A variety of classes are given, but focus always remains on social skills and confidence building. Activities include acting, dancing and singing classes and we often make presentations with our volunteers.

Sports Complejo
The sports complejo has been the main sports facility for all the schools in Habana Vieja for generations. It is a very established facility but lacks basic facilities. Sports run at this location include; baseball, volleyball, athletics, wrestling, basketball and judo in the near future.

We support sports in Cuba whenever possible and the benefits sports bring to society are well known to Cubans. We follow their lead, improving facilities and donating equipment are where our support is most required.

DISCOVER CUBA

In its day Havana was one of the most important and wealthy cities on the planet. The source of this wealth is undoubtedly controversial and Cuba’s more recent history is testament to this controversy. The faded patina of Havana’s gorgeous neo classical architecture, rumble of classic American cars and curious soviet era high rise buildings force you to question – what is Cuba?

We would like to help you answer this question through a series of cultural excursions and encounters with Cuban people. These will comprise three ‘sessions’ per week, usually Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 14:00. The four week program includes a schedule of 11 different cultural excursions and the two week program includes 6 cultural excursions. The format is varied, for example, a guided tour of a museum, or a weekend excursion down ‘Paseo del Prado’ to see the free open air art classes and discussion groups, or a sporting event such as baseball or basketball game or other ‘event’ where there is a big social gathering.

These cultural experiences and excursions are with our trained local guides who will show you how to buy (and spend!) local peso’s, take local transport and generally make you feel at home and comfortable with your new surroundings.

WEEKEND EXCURSIONS

During the weekends we enjoy a daytrip to a beach directly east of Havana. Journey time is 30 minutes by bus and you can enjoy the exhilarating rollers that break on these pristine sandy beaches.

There is also the option to volunteer on the Paseo del Prado where local aritist's give free arts and crafts classes to local kids!

"A fantastic stay in Cuba with some of the best teachers I've had in my life!"

Zackariah Farah, opiskelija _ maasta USA

I have no complaints about this experience. I stayed at the school and the staff there helped me with whatever I needed. They offered to organize excursions to local destinations and gave tips about what to see and do.

"Learning Spanish, salsa and Cuban culture in a very friendly atmosphere"

Yildiz Silier

Three hours of intensive Spanish courses in very small classes (1-3 students), salsa and tours of Havana in the afternoons with people from over the world. What else can one want to enjoy beuatiful Havana? Breakfasts and lunches at school were delicious, and my single en suite room in Amy's casa particular was very comfortable and close to the school. The school's location in Old Havana was excellent. All of the crew was very helpful in solving our smaill problems. My special thanks to Leo and our teacher Delvis. I will definitely want to come back again.

"Best Language school in Cuba"

Timm B

I had the pleasure of learning Spanish at Corazon Cuba in February, and it was an incredible experience. The instructors are not only highly knowledgeable but also exceptionally patient and engaging, making each lesson enjoyable and effective. The immersive environment helped me improve my language skills rapidly while gaining a deeper understanding of Cuban culture. The small class sizes ensured personalized attention, and the staff’s dedication to student success was evident in every interaction. I highly recommend Corazon Cuba to anyone looking to learn Spanish in a vibrant and supportive setting.
