Mi escuelita latinoamericana

Registration has just started

for our Spanish classes for

children aged 2–12

Classes take place on Saturday mornings

Start of classes: Saturday, February 21

The classes are aimed at children from Spanish- and Spanish-Danish-speaking families.

Not just classes for the children

These Saturday mornings are also an opportunity for parents to strengthen their ties with the Spanish-speaking community in Aarhus, as many of the parents enjoy spending time together, for example at the Fjordsgade café, while their children are being taught.

The teachers are native Spanish-speaking Spaniards/Latin Americans and professionally trained educators, child psychologists, and teachers with experience in language teaching for children.
Classes take place on Saturdays between 9:00 AM and 12:45 PM.
Classes are held at Fjordsgades Forenings- og Fritidshus, N. J. Fjordsgade 2, 8000 Aarhus C.
Teaching is divided into 4 levels / 4 classes, and each child’s placement in a class is agreed individually with the teachers, based on the child’s age, maturity, and previous knowledge of Spanish.
You enroll your child based on their age and your own assessment of their maturity and Spanish skills; afterwards, you arrange the details for the first lessons with the teacher.
There is a limit on the number of places, so please sign up your child/children as soon as possible. In recent years, we have had between 40 and 50 children enrolled, distributed across different levels.
Further details about the levels and content, a presentation of the teachers, as well as registration and payment information are in Spanish and can be found here.
Payment is made via MobilePay. Please remember to write the child’s name and “mat” (abbreviation for registration) in the message field.
If you pay for a family membership in our association Raíces at the same time (if you are not already a member), you will receive a discount on enrollment and a sibling discount, as well as reduced admission or free entry for the whole family to Raíces events and activities.
For questions, please contact: matriculacion@raices.dk

Welcome – we look forward to having you with us.

FILM SCREENING:
UN LUGAR EN EL MUNDO

Date: Thursday, November 27
Time: 18:30
Place: Room 7, Frivilligcenteret, Aarhus
Title: Un lugar en el mundo (in spanish)

In 'A Place in the World', nothing explodes, no one flies… but everything matters. A valley, a rural cooperative, a geologist who arrives with promises, and a family that still believes in education and solidarity as forms of resistance. The film pulls you into that community until you feel like you’re there, sipping mate on the side. It has humour, tenderness, and also some hard blows — the kind that stay with you long after the lights come back on.
Shall we watch it?

Approx. duration: 120 minutes

Free event
