The Federation of Spanish schools in Spain (FEDELE) organizes, for the second consecutive year, the SEMANA DIGITAL DEL ESPAÑOL. In this edition they present notable changes such as the registration prior to the activity, which will help to certify the attendance of the participants, as well as a renewed more informative agenda, with interventions by different professionals in the sector and sessions for all  profiles involved in the sector of Spanish as a foreign language.

Participation is totally free and there is no limit on places, but registration is mandatory to later receive the certificate issued by the Federation. In addition, this year together with the participation participants will receive different documents so that they can follow the sessions, write down important questions and participate with all the speakers.
