IPC Projects:

• Annual Cultural Tours to Spanish Speaking countries. These tours bring Canadians to cultural events, in Spanish speaking environments, in order to facilitate the understanding and enjoyment of community and cultural expressions connected to language. Please visit our link for information about this year's tour and train ride though the Copper Canyon (Barranca del Cobre in the Sierra Madre Mountains).
  
  
• On-going Interactive Spanish language classes - Offered in Calgary to small groups in a relaxed and familiar environment.
  
  
• Past Project - Annual Travel Study Courses in partnership with the University of Calgary - This project provided a valuable educational opportunity for students to develop an awareness of international, Canadian, multicultural and aboriginal cultural perspectives. Programs of this nature create valuable international experiences for artists. Courses of this nature broaden each student's human experience as it relates to his/her art form. Apart from raising their self concept and confidence as valuable contributors to healthy societies, students come to recognize the value of the arts as a human expression uniting culture in common language of visual/image, music, dance and performance.
  
  
• Local artist promotion- hands on workshops with local artists, and musicians
  
  
• IPC is also the initiating sponsor of the Ferna Joy Internship Program which sponsors young artists to train in the area of arts education and creative process facilitation with intercultural awareness.
