Iskashitaa Refugee Network and Exo Roast have teamed up to offer bilingual cafecitos focused on language development and building community.
Sofía Moraga Franco Arizona Daily Star A “cafecito” is a gathering with friends to gossip or catch up, or simply enjoy each other’s company, usually over coffee. Here in Tucson, where the population is made up of many who are familiar with these cafecitos, creating a bilingual one to join two communities in the learning of each other’s culture is a beautiful idea.
She taught ESOL at Pima Community College for many years and ran an education space through Exo Roast where they held language classes. “I do want to reach those who feel marginalized in their Spanish speaking and English speaking,” Smith said. “I want to bring a fluency between the two languages and create an environment where we’re sharing in the language so we can share in this place.”
He brought up the idea of the cafecitos to Eiswerth and together they agreed Destiche would run Tuesday sessions in Iskashitaa’s new office. Destiche is a grad student at the University of Arizona getting his master’s degree in development practice, which he said is basically, “how to systematically make the world a better place.”
For the cafecitos he usually creates a lesson plan with a fun ice breaker and then an interactive activity to help both Spanish language and English language learners bounce off each other.
