11月15日，卡尔加里教育委员会和卡尔加里天主教学区的580名五六年级学生聚集在沙恩霍姆斯YMCA洛基岭分部。此举旨在培养学习语言的投入感，促进当地艺术人才与社区的联系，并增加学生对西班牙语世界内存在的文化和语言多样性的欣赏。

学生们参加了各种研讨会，包括摄影和口语表达等，由卡尔加里的拉美裔加拿大人社区的七位艺术家 - Vicky Velasco，Carolina Slim，Maya Corona，Rebecca Dawn，Sara Mancera，Dayana Duven和Analia Muñoz主持。活动还包括与卡尔加里大学语言、语言学和文化学教授Mary Grantham O'Brien博士以及该项目的校友Hana Bagorio的互动讲座。Hana Bagorio目前正在攻读西班牙语和教育学位。在她专为孩子们设计的讲座中，Mary Grantham O'Brien博士将学习语言比作《查理和巧克力工厂》中的金色门票，并描述了这种21世纪的能力几乎具有魔力，能为他们的未来打开大门。

​On Nov. 15, 580 Grade 5/6 students from the Calgary Board of Education and Calgary Catholic School District’s Spanish Bilingual Program gathered at the Shane Homes YMCA at Rocky Ridge. The initiative was designed to cultivate learner investment in language learning, to foster community connections with local artistic talent and to build students’ appreciation for the cultural and linguistic diversity that exists within the Spanish-speaking world.

Students engaged in workshops ranging from photography to spoken word with seven artists from Calgary’s Latino-Canadian community - Vicky Velasco, Carolina Slim, Maya Corona, Rebecca Dawn, Sara Mancera, Dayana Duven and Analia Muñoz. The event also included an interactive talk with Dr. Mary Grantham O’Brien, professor of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures at the University of Calgary and program alumni, Hana Bagorio, who is currently working towards her degree in Spanish and Education. In her kid-friendly talk, Dr. O’Brien likened language learning to the golden ticket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and described how this 21st-century competency has an almost magical power to open doors for their future.
