Foundry Street Welcomes Visitors from Spain for Cultural Exchange.

Earlier this year, we were contacted by Victoria Washington, a Calderdale born Spanish teacher now living and working in Spain, with a unique proposal. She planned to bring two small groups of adult learners to the UK in July for an immersive English experience and asked if they could join a few activities at Foundry Street Community Centre as part of their visit.

We were delighted to say yes!

Last week, the first group took part in one of Ellie’s Spanish conversation classes, enjoying a lively exchange of language and culture. This week, the second group joined Cindy’s Stompers, and what a session it was! Laughter, movement and some enthusiastic toe tapping made for a fantastic afternoon.

The story has even caught the attention of the local press. You can read all about it in the Halifax Courier here:

It’s been a real pleasure to welcome our visitors and share a little bit of Foundry Street hospitality, proof that community and culture really do speak a universal language.
