Join Intercambio this Fall – Applications Now Open!

[Jessica Saavedra Eleno]

Hello Somerville Community,

 

As part of our Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations, we’re excited to announce that applications are now open for the Fall 2025 session of Intercambio, the Somerville Arts Council’s Language and Culture Exchange Program!

 

📅 Dates: October 1 – November 19, 2025 (Wednesday evenings)

📍Location: Connexion – 149 Broadway, Somerville, MA 02145

 

What is Intercambio?

Intercambio is a welcoming space where neighbors practice conversational language skills with native speakers, share cultures, and build friendships. Each session, participants spend half the time in one language and half in another—making everyone both a learner and a teacher.

 

What makes it special?

🌍 Cultural exchange: A true two-way learning experience.

🤝 Diverse community: Past participants have come from Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Nepal, China, Haiti, Guatemala, Colombia, the U.S., and more.

🍲 Global Potluck: We wrap up with a joyful food celebration, tasting dishes from around the world.

🎨 Extra activities: Optional outings—museum visits, walking tours, food events, and more—make the experience even richer.

 

Why join this fall?

This session is especially meaningful as it coincides with Hispanic Heritage Month, giving us the chance to celebrate the richness of Hispanic culture while connecting across languages and experiences.

 

Who can apply?

Anyone with at least an intermediate level of a foreign language who’s eager to practice conversation in a friendly, supportive environment.

 

👉 Apply now HERE: Intercambio Fall 2025 Application

Let’s come together this fall to celebrate language, culture, and community. We can’t wait to welcome you to Intercambio!

 

Warmly,

The Somerville Arts Council Team
