Consultation and Program Design
Our distinguished faculty and staff will engage you in a continuous discussion to help determine and prioritize your goals for the program and build a schedule that maximizes the time on-site. Together, we can identify the right participants (in terms of level of leadership and roles) and make-up of the class (cross-functional or within teams) for each kind of program. The timeframe and format of the program will depend on what would be ideal for the scope of the topic and schedule of your organization.
There are several models in which the academic section can be displayed. For example:
- Faculty-directed: Programs directed on-site by a faculty member from your institution who delivers the core academic components.
- Hybrid: Your faculty-directed program that also includes an academic piece provided by ADELA in the same location
- 100% on-site based customized Program: We create a program that meets your academic requirements and provides a fully immersive and cultural experience
- Spanish Language-based programs

Experiential Learning
Each program might be conceived for the classroom to be Buenos Aires city, allowing students to enjoy a holistic experience that transcends the academic and cultural exchange and allows enrichment. We design academic courses with a range of co-curricular cultural activities such as field observation, visits to sites of interest related to the course topics, the possibility of dialoguing with special guests, access to interviews with specialists, among others, providing the student with a genuine added value to the classroom material.
Program Location
Our programs are delivered at FLACSO – Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales- (Tucuman 1966, Buenos Aires City, Argentina), the right location to reinforce the academic focus. We offer an academic atmosphere and modern facilities. Our faculty can also travel to conduct international programs. Professional interpretation and translation of materials may also be included in the program.
Post-program evaluation
During and after the program, faculty and staff will conduct in-depth program evaluation to determine if program goals have been met or are on target.
