Tandem conversation practice

As a complement to their language course, students can participate in Tandem Conversation practice in which the foreigner is paired with a native Peruvian Spanish speaker so that each can practice the other's language--English, German, or French (depending on the foreigner's native language). Via the Tandem both partners are immersed in the language and culture of the other. As part of ACUPARI's cross-cultural interchange, students participate in a variety of social and cultural activities and have the opportunity to contribute their time and efforts to several social and volunteer projects.

Social projects

ACUPARI is involved in social projects and community efforts, throughout Cusco and its outlying areas. It provides support and volunteers to local hospitals, rehabilitation centers, orphanages, schools, and street projects. ACUPARI hosts several literacy projects that support local authors.

Books for 70 Schools

Since 2006, ACUPARI has been supporting and promoting a project that contributes to the distribution of free children's books to small rural schools in Andean communities in the Cusco region. These schools in particular fall quite short on written materials, especially illustrated. The project also includes workshops for the children to motivate their written, narrative, and artistic skills and talents. Writing and drawing materials are also donated.

First Regional Children's Book Writing Contest

In 2007, ACUPARI sponsored and hosted its first Regional Children's Book Writing Contest. The winner was local Cusqueñan artist, Braddy Romero, with his bilingual - Spanish and Quechua -- story "Catalina y la Unkuña Mágica." With help from financial donations, it was possible to print 2000 high quality copies that were then distributed for free to children and teachers in rural schools. This project was born due to the initiative of German illustrator Florian Mast.
