line The organization of the classes,

application processes, attendance management, and more, is online but the teaching, learning and sharing experience is offline (Online2Offline model). Automation enables scalability.

OUR ONLINE PRODUCT (automation):

1) allows us to create, in any city, a language and culture exchange experience between migrants, refugees and locals that breaks language barriers, helps migrants and promotes multilingualism and equity among all.

2) supports the local language and culture exchange experience that happens offline, in the real world, with ready-to-use teaching materials, systematized methodology, management of enrollment processes, events, payments and classes, and a back-office for local project managers/ambassadors.

3) empowers our community online, as it aggregates all the participants giving them individual and interactive profiles. With a state-of-the-art design, it enables our community to connect online, to share their learnings, help each other and keep up-to-date with SPEAK.

The Sani Family

This family had no friends or network. Fatema and her husband applied to SPEAK to learn Portuguese and they also volunteered to teach Arabic. They not only learned Portuguese but they also made friends at SPEAK - they are not alone anymore. Today, Fatema has a job that was offered by a business woman she met at SPEAK.

Meet AlinaAlina is from Ukraine, she was living alone in Portugal with no friends or family. She applied to SPEAK to learn Spanish and she also volunteered to teach Russian. In SPEAK, Alina learned Spanish, improved her Portuguese but she also made her best friends, the ones who took care of everything when she needed the most, when she was at the hospital, when she needed sponsors to rent a house and so much more.
