Luces, cámara, acción

What is ‘Lights, Camera, Action’?

The ‘Luces, Cámara, Acción’ film project is an educational initiative of the Spanish Embassy Education Office in the UK aimed at promoting Spanish language and culture among students from Primary to A-level. Through the captivating medium of film, this project aims to improve language skills, cultural awareness and appreciation of the rich heritage of Spanish-speaking countries. By integrating film into the curriculum, we aim to create an engaging and immersive learning experience that transcends the traditional boundaries of the classroom.
