You'll also assist local teachers through lessons, interaction with students and their homework and participate in educational games and activities.

Here are a few activities where you may offer support:
* English study sessions

* Educational workshops
* Information about health and safety

Please bring a pro-active attitude with you to the project! The more flexible you are, the more you will get out of the project.
Highlights:
Argentina is a South-American country with a great deal to offer. It provides a truly diverse range of attractions for visitors from high culture offered by the country's museums, architecture and rich traditional art forms, to an energetic spectrum of activities including some of the best water and snow sports to be found in the world. A land of breath-taking beauty and dramatic vistas, Argentina offers the traveler an experience like no other.Argentina is the second largest country in South America, almost 30% of Europe's total area. European influence is strong with around 85% of the population being of European descent, something that is reflected in the culture. Despite the strong European connections, the Argentinean spirit is unique and the people are proudly nationalistic.
