Mate is more than a drink, it is a social ritual. 🧉 Rooted in indigenous Guaraní traditions, mate has become the social glue of Argentina and Uruguay. Sharing mate means sharing trust, conversation, and time.

The first sip might surprise you, but stick with it. Asking to share a mate it's the perfect icebreaker and the fastest way to make new friends. Don’t be shy!

Tango, the iconic dance and musical genre, is a cultural cornerstone shared by Argentina and Uruguay. Born in the bustling neighborhoods of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, tango emerged as a fusion of diverse influences, including European rhythms, African melodies, and the unique experiences of immigrants.
Tango's evolution was shaped by the vibrant social life, the blend of cultures, and the economic and social changes that both nations experienced during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
In both cities, you can find tango shows and classes everyday to experience this traditional culture firsthand.

El tango, icónico baile y género musical, es un pilar cultural compartido por Argentina y Uruguay. Nacido en los bulliciosos barrios de Buenos Aires y Montevideo, el tango surgió como una fusión de diversas influencias, incluyendo ritmos europeos, melodías africanas y las experiencias únicas de los inmigrantes.
La evolución del tango estuvo marcada por la vibrante vida social, la mezcla de culturas y los cambios económicos y sociales que experimentaron ambas naciones a fines del siglo XIX y principios del XX.


En ambas ciudades, podés encontrar espectáculos y clases de tango todos los días para vivir esta experiencia clásica.

Small Acts, Big Impact: Internship Stories - Internships often focus on grand projects and tangible outcomes. While these are undoubtedly valuable, it's the smaller, often overlooked actions that can leave the most lasting impression.

- After noticing an oversight, Lexi created a simple calendar and made sure that the birthday of residents and staff is never forgotten.
- During a community impact day, Palmer shared a special moment with a girl sparking their imagination and co-creating an adventure book.
- Our Montevideo cohort participated in a Techo build, contributing to providing housing for those in need.

A reminder that every contribution, no matter how small, matters.


Pequeñas Acciones, Grandes Impactos: Historias de Pasantías
Las pasantías suelen centrarse en proyectos grandes y resultados tangibles. Sin embargo, son las acciones más pequeñas, a menudo pasadas por alto, las que pueden dejar la huella más duradera.
- Por ejemplo, Lexi, al notar un descuido, creó un simple calendario para asegurarse de que nunca se olvidaran los cumpleaños de los residentes y el personal.
- Durante un día de impacto comunitario, Palmer compartió un momento especial con una chica, despertando su imaginación y co-creando un libro de aventuras. - Nuestro grupo de pasantes en Montevideo participaron en una construcción de Techo, contribuyendo a proporcionar vivienda a quienes más lo necesitan.
Estos ejemplos demuestran que cada contribución, por más pequeña que parezca, importa.
