APEFYB SEP IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC
The times have changed, and APEFyB, PERÚ have to adapt to it. One of our principal activities that were hit by the pandemic is our Student Exchange Programme and we had to create new things to maintain the SEP spirit alive. APEFyB has been working a lot in our SEP, and we the help of all the team of our 11 subsidiaries we could make an incredible Virtual SEP. First, we made a cultural session where we had a lot of audiences. We did not expect to have more than one hundred participants for our first session. It was important to choose the correct platform, that is why we did it on google meet. We had to take in mind the time zone, so we decided to make two sessions, one in English and the other in Spanish, for the first one we did at 13:00 GMT +0 and for the other 23:00 GTM+0. We present our typical foods, celebrations, some interesting facts about Perú, and also the places where a student can do their SEP. The part that was more impressive for many of them was that we use a Google Earth presentation, this application was like going to that exact place by traveling virtually. Also, we taught some phrases and words in Spanish and Quechua and all the participants liked it a lot.
