Permanent Activities at BCNLIP

At BCNLIP, we believe that learning goes far beyond the classroom. That’s why we organize permanent, year-round activities aimed at helping students connect with the school, their classmates, and local culture, while fostering intercultural interaction and integration into life in Barcelona.

We host two regular and free events that are especially appreciated by our students:

🥐 Welcome Breakfasts

Each month, we welcome new students from all areas with a special breakfast. It’s a chance to meet the team, learn about our mission, and share expectations in a friendly and relaxed setting.

Our events are also part of our educational program and, therefore, are completely free for our students. They provide an incredible opportunity to practice the language you are studying, meet new people, and learn more about our culture. Each month, we aim to surprise you with an unforgettable activity. Furthermore, in many of our events, you will also participate actively. The goal of these activities is to encourage students to integrate into Barcelona’s social life and deeply immerse themselves in the local culture and neighborhood. Bcnlip is a member of Amics de La Rambla, an association that protects the tangible and intangible heritage of La Rambla. Below, you can see our most recent event, and you will find more photos and videos on our social media.

🎶 Flamenco Sessions at Las Brujas

We also hold monthly flamenco sessions at Las Brujas, a gallery in the Gothic Quarter. These intimate sessions are curated by Jero Férec, a flamenco guitarist with a strong career in Spain, who manages the space and works with top local artists to provide students with high-quality, first-hand flamenco experiences.

Both events are free and have limited capacity. Booking information is shared via social media and WhatsApp groups a few days or a week in advance.

Excursions

At BCNLIP we always have interesting excursions on offer which give you the chance to get to know the areas around Barcelona and enjoy the best festivals celebrated all over Spain. They offer unique experiences at unbeatable prices. Here you have some of our trips for this year but don’t forget to ask at reception as well and check out our social media as we are always open to new ideas and are flexible to the needs and desires of students. At BCNLIP, excursions are part of our program, so that students that want to dive further into their learning experience may join an extra activity. The school provides the students with a free guide and all the participants need to pay for is transportation, which is usually around 20€.

🤝 In collaboration with the BCNLIP Educational Foundation

These activities are part of our collaboration with the BCNLIP Educational Foundation, whose mission is to connect migrant and international individuals with local culture and act as a bridge for intercultural exchange.
That’s why much of our cultural agenda is designed to create shared spaces between BCNLIP students, students from other schools, and local residents, through cultural, solidarity, and community events.

Academic Cultural Agenda at BCNLIP UP – Neptú

At BCNLIP UP, we believe that learning goes beyond the classroom. That’s why our Neptú location offers a cultural agenda with a strong academic focus, designed to enrich your educational journey. Throughout the year, we organize activities such as the Cervantes Route in May, guided visits to the Natural Sciences Museum and CosmoCaixa, orientation sessions to attend educational fairs like the Saló de l’Ensenyament, and visits to universities and higher education centers. You’ll also have the chance to take part in our Intellectual Quiz with prizes — a fun way to test your knowledge. Plus, you’re always welcome to join the ongoing cultural events organized by BCNLIP.
