The Education Office in Stockholm, in collaboration with the Embassy of Spain in Helsinki, organizes various activities, including training workshops, contests for Spanish language students, presentations, and visits to educational institutions. It also supports Spanish language teachers by offering grants and scholarships for training courses, as well as providing teaching resources and materials for Spanish as a foreign language.

University students and graduates from Finland can participate in this program. Their role is to assist in English language classes at Spanish educational institutions to improve the oral English skills of Spanish students. This initiative contributes to enhancing the quality of foreign language teaching in Spain and promotes cultural exchange between both countries.
