SOCIAL ACTION
UNIVERSITY EXTENSION
SOCIAL ACTION DEPARTMENT
The mission of the Social Action department is to be an agent of social change through our activities in order to achieve the transformation of society by generating experiences of encounter with others
How do we do it?
Since its foundation, UFV has been committed to the comprehensive training of its students. For this reason, in addition to the contents of the university degree itself, all university degrees include humanistic subjects, such as Social Responsibility, in which social internships are required. Every year more than 2,000 students dedicate their time and effort to help some 12,000 people in vulnerable situations through collaboration with 147 institutions and more than 779 programs.
How do we do it?
Our work with institutions goes beyond the internships of our students, we support, train and accompany them. Each year we organize intensive work days, general and specific training according to their needs, recreational activities, fundraising and awareness-raising on and off campus.
