Middlebury School in Argentina

The Second Meeting of the Middlebury College Conflict Resolution Program 🇦🇷✨

​We held our second session at FADU (UBA), a faculty where 117 students and teachers disappeared during the dictatorship. Guided by Professor Luis Angilletta and guest artist .javier, we reflected on how art and creative interventions serve as powerful tools for defending Human Rights.

​A huge thank you to the Luisa Hairabedian Foundation, our guests, and the students for such a meaningful and high-quality exchange.

🏆 UBA shines at the UN! 🇦🇷✨
​Our students have done it again! A delegation of 9 brilliant students from the University of Buenos Aires competed at the National Model United Nations (NMUN) in New York, and the results were outstanding:
​🥇 Outstanding Delegation Award (The top recognition!)
📜 4 Position Paper Awards
🤝 Peers Award (Best delegation chosen by fellow students)
​Representing Syria in this simulation, our team stood out among prestigious universities from Germany, the US, France, and Canada. This victory is a testament to the high quality of Argentine public education and the talent of our students across different disciplines like Law, Economics, Biology, History and more.

More snapshots of the breathtaking landscapes in San Martín de los Andes 🏔️.

Celebrating 50 years of stories, culture, and passion!

The Buenos Aires International Book Fair reaches its Golden Jubilee, and being part of this milestone feels truly special. Half a century of bringing readers and writers together. Cheers to many more chapters! ✨

A hospital shaped like a crescent moon. 🌙 In Aluminé, we visited the Bi-cultural Hospital, a unique place where Western medicine and Mapuche traditional healing coexist and complement each other.
​The building's architecture itself tells a story: its moon-like shape reflects the Mapuche worldview, designed to respect the cycles of nature and the energy of the land. It was fascinating to learn how these two visions of health can work together to care for the community. A true lesson in respect and integration.

Beyond the breathtaking landscapes of San Martín de los Andes, our study trip gave us the opportunity to listen. We spent time talking with members of the Mapuche community, who shared their current challenges and their ongoing struggle for land and cultural recognition. It was a powerful reminder that these territories carry deep histories and voices that must be heard.
​This trip wasn't just about the views; it was about understanding the complex reality of those who protect this land.

Summer in Buenos Aires is a state of mind. 🧉🌿

​Our students are making the most of these final golden days. It’s all about friends, bars, and plenty of laughter as we say goodbye to the season in the best way possible! 🌆🗣️

​Work, study, and unforgettable memories in the heart of the city. Cheers to the BA lifestyle! 🥂🇦🇷

Yesterday, we celebrated the birth anniversary of a true visionary and a pioneer of Argentine culture: Victoria Ocampo (1890–1979). ✨

​Founder of the legendary "Sur" magazine, Victoria was much more than an editor. She was a bridge between continents, languages, and ideas. In an era that tried to limit women’s voices, she built an intellectual empire and became a leading advocate for women’s rights and freedom of thought. 📖

​"To live is to learn to die. To learn to die is to learn to let go of everything that is not essential." — Victoria Ocampo.
