The Spanish language leveling initiative for Haitian nationals who have migrated to Chile represents the continuity of work developed in previous years with the support of local stakeholders.
The project originated from a request for support made by the Escuela Deportiva de Ovejería2 to the Corporación Cultural Alianza Francesa3. The goal was to establish language competencies to foster better communication and interaction among teachers, students, and parents within the Haitian community, as well as among the students themselves. The successful completion of the first stage was made possible through the contribution of the company Colun4.
