What is Spanish up and what is your proposal

The International Institute of Culture Spanish up is a private equity company that was created with the intention of promoting and promoting cultural exchange through the Spanish language for foreigners in general, and very particularly with China, also focusing on culture business. One of his proposals to achieve this goal are the Summer Camps for children. In addition, in the future, tour packages will be offered that can be tailored to suit the needs of each person or company. Chinese and business culture courses will also be organized during the school year. Spanish Up is also a consulting firm specializing in issues related to the Chinese world.

What has been the experience of implementing the company in China and how the Spanish Administration has helped you

The Spanish Up Group has a company in Hong Kong, Hola Amigos Ltd., and for its constitution it has had the experience in creating companies in Hong Kong of one of the partners, thus facilitating the necessary procedures. The projects have been developed in the seedbed of companies of the Industrial City of Valnalon that has provided us with the support and tools necessary to carry out the constitution and study the viability of the companies.

What does Mandarin Chinese mean today and what fundamental differences exist between Western and Eastern culture

Starting children in the Chinese language means opening the doors to the most spoken language in the world, which will add value to your curriculum in the future.

We talk about very different cultures, with important cultural differences that it is necessary to know in order to establish any type of relationship with the Asian country.

What is the camp for children to learn Chinese and at what ages does it apply?

Summer Camps aim to foster knowledge of Chinese culture and language. It is offered for children between 7 and 14 years in Asturias, in an exclusive and new hostel, located between the sea and the mountains. With native teachers and qualified monitors, children can learn with linguistic immersion in Chinese culture, while having fun with an important offer and attractive offer of outdoor activities.

What are the qualifications of the teachers who teach the workshops

Classes will be taught by native Chinese teachers, the different areas of this language will be worked on for three hours a day: phonetics, writing standards, tones, etc.

What other tasks can be done in the camp

Workshops of games and Chinese culture, and traditional Asturian with the group 6 Conceyos, of gastronomy to know A world of sensations: “enjoy with chocolate in summer” with Miguel Sierra, who is in possession of the Best Pastry Master in Spain. There is also sport led by the international referee César Muñiz Fernández that includes, kayaking or boat trip on the Ría de Villaviciosa, horseback riding, gymkhanas, routes and evenings, etc.

How courses can continue so children can learn Chinese

Spanish Up will offer classes and workshops in different parts of Asturias, and perhaps somewhere else in Spain. If the children came from places where Chinese is not implanted, the company intends to provide online Chinese training.

What offer do you have for Chinese children in Spain and in China

In China Spanish study is offered through the online platform, designed specifically for this population. However, this platform is available to any foreigner who wants to learn Spanish, regardless of their residence. For the next course Chinese students will have the possibility to come to Spain to complement their studies.

In Spain, Chinese children could enjoy the knowledge of Spanish culture through the camps, as well as integration workshops that we will shortly bring to the market. Tailored packages will also be made for families with children of Chinese origin, with training and tourist plans. Those interested can contact us at any time to make this service tailored. In addition, to the Schools and Associations of Parents we offer our services to organize coexistence or any other activity, based on the knowledge of the different cultures.
